shirt tails

[GatorUK]

Go regimental and no one will notice the shirt tail.

Is your Cilt to the knees? Tell them that traditionally the kilt was worn over the léine and it came to the middle of the the lower leg. See Matt's article: http://albanach.org/leine.html Here is a chance to give a history lesson when some one gives you grief about your shirt tail. :rolleyes:

Whatever may have been done in past centuries has little bearing on the way we dress today.
Have you met many men wearing a leine day-to-day?

Perhaps what I need is a shirt that is white down to the waist and black (or tartan?) below .

Or, if people complain, just ask them to stop looking at your hindquarters.

Best solution I've heard for most problems. If they don't like it, look elsewhere.

I guess I'm unsure that I understand the controversy. You were country dancing, spinning fast enough that your kilt was high enough that people could see your shirt tail? And someone got after you for allowing your shirt tail to be seen?

Seems to me that it is an UNSAFE assumption that your critic's preference would be less shirt tail and more undies. Seems to me it is more likely that the critic wants your kilt to stay closer to the ground. This could be accomplished in two ways: i) spinning more slowly or ii) wearing a heavier kilt. A third option is to just ignore your critic and dance and dress the way you want. I guess if it is the event organizer you might need to make an accommodation.

Before you go to heroic lengths to minimize sightings of your shirt tails and maximize sightings of your smalls, I think you should make sure that this is what your critic wants. If he/she was unhappy about tails, he/she might be insensed by an eyefull of your BVD's!

There are shirts designed for men gymnast that won't show or pull out.

Exactly who was this person that did not like your shirt tail? was it the dance police or the choreographer :confused: .Wear a black shirt and your problem will go away ......NOT...
