I wear traditional 13oz and 16oz wool kilts and also modern polycotton and acrylic kilts. Of the three, the polycotton is the most comfortable against the skin, but you will get used to wool kilts if you wear them often, and I always feel more confident in a real wool kilt. In my opinion, wearing a slip under a kilt defeats the whole comfort and freedom ethic, and there's always the anxiety that it will flash into view, destroying the mystique of leaving people guessing whether anything's worn under. I made an under kilt out of the lower part of an old cotton tee shirt, cut off across the bottom of the armpits and then stitched onto a jockey waistband but I've very rarely worn it.
