Long Johns Under a Kilt

[Hamish]

.................................................. .................................................. .................... A kilt looks good with knee socks and by all means wear something under it but what's worn under should not hang below the kilt selvedge.

Well said, that man!

And remember, too each their own.

Hmm, that actually looks like you're just wearing super long socks.

OK, I know I am guilty of an earlier, rather tongue in cheek post on this thread regarding the wearing of hockey socks. As the winter here has been rather mild, the hockey gear languishes in a drawer. I have, however been busy making kilt liners out of second hand um, ah, skirts. (Well what's the darn difference? They reside under my kilt and never get seen.) My latest and greatest creation I spotted at a thrift store for less than $6. It actually looked like a pair of long johns in skirt form- you know, grey and ribbed and thick and cosy and stretchy. What's it made of? 90 per cent wool. That's right, 70/lambswool, 10/cashmere, 10/angora and 10/nylon. And its hand washable. I snapped it up, took it home and in less than 30 minutes had chopped it down to 21 inches and hemmed it on my sewing machine. Its got a loosely elasticized waist and can be raised or lowered to suit the length of the kilt I'm wearing it under. I adjust it to hang about 2 inches short of my kilt's lower hem. Being strapped under the waist of my kilt, it neither rides up nor "slips" down and remains undetectable no matter what I do- stand, sit, walk or boogie. Not only does this kilt liner allow me to wear my summer weight kilts in winter- but it makes those kilts made out of less comfy fabric a dream to wear.

Get lined, ye lads 'n lassies ;)
