    I, too, just buy extra-tall shirts with long tails at the store and wear those with my kilt. I also buy a collar size larger if I'm going to be piping.

    O.K. Here is the low down.

    The liner arrived today. The material, fit, and finish are first rate. I asked for an exact measurement, both in length and lower circumference, and that is what I got. Despite much trying to generate some static I just couldn't get a spark either with wool or acrylic. Nor was there a hint of cling. The wide (3/4") elastic is comfortable and fully covered. All seams are serged as well as sewn, and the bottom hem is double stitched. The lag between my custom order and delivery was a little over one week. All in all I am satisfied that I got more than my money's worth.

    The summer hiking season is upon us here in the Southern Appalachians, and a smooth cling-free liner is going to make the woolies even more comfortable.

    I know some of you are skeptical. At least on the outside. But, as with kilts themselves, you'll never know what you are missing if you don't try.

    About the collar, I learned the hard way (per ardua) to increase the size of my tuxedo shirt (and other shirts that require a tie) by about an inch to accommodate my piping.
