[Mr. Kilt]

Well it may be a boring and repetitive topic for some of you because you've been on here and kilted for quite some time. I've worn a kilt a total of about 15 times....so I apologize if I am somewhat naive and inquisitive....

I have had to figure it out on my own here cause I haven't wanted to sound stupid asking stuff about hose and flashes and pins and the lot....it's a daunting undertaking to start being kilted. I understand that being kilted brings with it a great deal of history and heritage and I don't want to do anything to be disrespectful to it....so hence the questions....

Please don't feel that your questions may sound "stupid". The only stupid question is the one not asked. However...if you take the time to search the archives beforehand you may find what you're looking for. If you can't find it, or are still confused about the situation, ask away! We were all new to this at one time or another.

We all were new to this at one point or another. I don't think any disrespect was meant to you as a new kilt wearer, just recognizing that this topic comes up very frequently. As Al said, the only stupid question is the one you don't ask.

So, the unasked questions....can you be arrested for not wearing underwear with your kilt? - No. Can someone who checks to see if you're wearing underwear under your kilt be arrested? - Yes. Can you be arrested if the wind blows your kilt so that people can see you've no underwear on? - Maybe, but it'd never hold in court. Can you be arrested for showing unwilling people that you're not wearing underwear under your kilt? - For sure. Can you be arrested if a child peers up your kilt and exclaims to his parents that he sees your bits? - The best reason to wear underwear around a lot of kids who might cling to your ankles. And...what would our dear mother's say if we were in an accident and rushed to the hospital and the medical staff found out we weren't wearing underwear? And on and on and on....

Trust your gut, but don't pass up the chances for freedom. Some women do it. Once dated a college professor, we were both in our fifties then. She NEVER wore underwear ever...'twas vanity...she didn't want a panty line....
