I'd say it's a somewhat of a good idea, although this type of fabric would make you a walking static charge.
I'd guess it's simply a slip. I've got some cotton flannel fabric is which I want to make a slip type of undergarment. I think it would work a little better being close to a tartan pattern and complimentary to the x-kilt I made of a Carharrt type cotton duck fabric.
I can't open an ebay link because my internet police here at work would have a cow, so I can't see the item.
I have been thinking along this same line though. I have a very lightweight kilt that I like to wear but it's getting really cold (snow last night) and I've been thinking about a flannel liner of some sort. It would be super simple to make and wouldn't even have to be attached to the kilt (yeah, I'm avoiding using the word slip :rolleyes: )
I think it might be worrth a try. Just a few bucks for some remnant flannel at the fabric store and a couple of snaps.

Actually, I was thinkng that a few judiciously placed buttons on the inside of the kilt would allow one to button in a liner that could be laundered seperately, thus saving wear and tear on the kilt. It could be the "all-season" solution as well...lighter polyesther for the warm weather and a flannel for the cold.
As long as it was a kilt LINER and was attached to the kilt it wouldn't be a SLIP, right?
...not that the "loin cloth" concept isn't a good solution, though.
it's a slip? wouldn't it be just a tad more manly just to get a pair of cotton shlepping shorts to wear under it?
i wouldn't want to dispel any image of myself by takintg a tumble, or having my date find a satin slip under my kilt in a dark quiet theatre and risk an exclaimation of her discovery..
how ever...it might feel really exotic...
The answer to the cold is a heavier kilt. To protect the kilt from body oil and for frontal comfort I just take a comfy pair of baggy boxers and snip the crotch. Cheap and effective. I don't worry about matching the kilt, because it doesn't show.
