    Interesting set of opinions.

    I suspect that some of us 'older' members might be just a tad more flexible in this department. I am, after more than 6 decades, completely comfortable with the idea of a liner. After all, if such garments didn't serve a useful purpose the very concept would have been stillborn. But I can readily see how some folks might get nervous even considering the idea of a slip (liner) especially if they are still to some degree hesitant about kilts in general despite outward bravado.

    I spoke to Ms. Porter and she assures me that static cling is not a problem. She is also quite willing to produce any custom length and hem circumference desired, and material is not limited to the satins displayed on her website. It seems to me that such practical and useful accessories ought to have been on the market long since.

    I am hoping that my daily trek to town for the mail will produce a package from her.

    I'm surprised not at the controversy, but at the level of it. I think these things are better than wearing briefs, boxers, or nothing. I've done all three. I commend those that wear the long shirts because that was the original, genuine undergarment for the kilt! I'm going to look for a reputable company to make my purchase!

    First thing I did was take pinking shears to the crotch seam of my boxers...Instant kilt liner, and available in many logos and movie themes. I bought two of King Kong. Just imagine the answers I can give to the Question.

    Lady Chrystel builts in my woolen kilts a permanent black indian cotton 'kilt liner' going the full width of the kilt.
    It's intricate, cool, and adds a few ounces...

    The cotton "underkilt" seems a pretty good idea, to me, but I think I'd rather just have some super long undershirts. If I had several of those, I'd likely go sans undies a lot more often.

    I agree. If I'm going out regimental, I'd prefer a long undershirt. It accomplishes the same "lining" goal without adding an extra garment to my closet (or attached around my waist).

    If I'm not mistaken from reading past postings by Matt and others, isn't the long tailed shirt very historically correct for kilt wear. Seems to accomplish the same task of keeping the kilt clean for regemental wearers. Not too sure I'd be comfortable wearing the "liner", but that's just my opinion.
