Any One Tried These?

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.

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.

Yes, that's what I said above along with some others. Is there a known source for the long T-shirt? I could go for some of these for the sake of variety.

Worn some... never washed?

I still have the three underkilts from Je something or other way back when. But they were taking money and not shipping last I heard. Don't know if that was ever rectified.

Even though my hand sewn wool kilts are lined, I can't wash the liner so I wear the underkilts. Even though I can wash my USA Kilts semi-trads and casuals its easier to wash the underkilt.

Guess I should get me some pinking shears too and make some of my own out of all the WalMarche' tartan boxer shorts I own.

Tell you what guys...don't knock it or turn away from it until you try it...easy to get used to it. At last weekend's Retreat I shared a room with two other guys and had no problem getting dressed in my kilts by first doning the underkilt. No teasing. Just a matter of fact garment. Don't see how there's any difference between two unbifurcated garments...

You said it, Ron. All the advantages of freedom, it protects your kils from excess body oils and so reduces frequency of washing, prevents (or minimizes) "red helmet syndrome), and id you're in a situation, like a kilt booth at a games, where you want to try on a different kilt, modesty i preserved. There's no down-side.

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.

Well, it could start a riot, but I'm willing to take the chance. I'm ordering a few today.

Thanks, Ruanaidh. Unfortunately, they do not come in my size, but I'll find another vendor. Thanks, again.
