Itchy kilts

[northernsky]

The long kilt shirt is a solution. Steve at Freedom kilts makes them.




I had one made in the drop shoulder style made of muslin cotton unbleached.

That's great! I'd never heard of these before. Great pic too!

I've also had that concern, mostly during the hot summers. I've lately thought that getting a soft cotton lining sewn in that was most of the length of the inner apron would help a lot (and would serve the purpose of something like a long shirt). Perhaps also in the back, sewn only as far as the hips in order to keep the pleats swinging freely, but still falling down enough to cover the backs of the legs from itchiness. This may be what others are already talking about, but that's what I was thinking of having done the next time I think about ordering a kilt.

I have merino wool socks that are not itchy at all. See if merino wool is available in your tartan.

Another solution is to take a new t-shirt, cut it off just under the arms, then sew a piece of elastic around the cut part. The elastic should be the size of your waist.
Step into the tube you just made then wrap your kilt around.
Voila, instant under-kilt.

They have a tendency to show if you bend.
