    Wear some soft cotton flannel boxers if something is to rough.

    Keep it simple.

    I have three of the apparently now defunct underkilt dealies. I almost always wear them with my wool kilts. They're black so don't worry much about them showing. If they did I wouldn't be embarrassed. As the bullfighter said, "EVERYTHING I wear is masculine."

    When at work I choose to wear tartan cotton boxers from WalMart - just in case - and over the past 18 months of full time kilt wearing there have been three times where I've been glad I did.

    Part of kilt comfort is whatever YOU wanna do to get comfy.

    Here is my solution to the problems of;

    How to keep your kilt clean.
    How to add an extra layer of insulation.
    How to ease the pleats on light kilts to fall back into place when standing up.
    How to prevent excess chaff from friction with wool.

    So far it seems that no one has mentioned Body Glide, so I'll mention it.

    But just about all of the bases have been covered. I just want to add my opinion that if it's more comfortable to wear shorts then wear shorts...no point getting your nether region sanded down just to "keep it real"...

    kilt comfort

    My kilts are all lightwieght pv or cotton drill material,so chafing not really a problem. Also many of my shirts are longer length,which when combined with boxers provids comfort without loss of 'ventilation'. Maybe hairy legs help too!
