    Nothing New Under The Sun (or under your kilt, either!)

    Back in the day when your new kilt was delivered by your tailor to your home, you would discover upon opening the box that he had included a pair of "short trews". These were a bit more snug fitting than traditional boxers-- more like boxer briefs-- and were made from cotton, silk, or superfine saxony wool (which is softer than the worsted of a kilt and, in lighter weights, is rather like flannel). Some were tartan, but most were a dark, navy blue. They either had a fitted waist band that buttoned closed, or a drawstring, and a multiple button fly.

    If you can't afford to have a special run of tartan done for your bespoke boxers, you might consider having a local machine embroidery shop scan in your clan crest and have that embroidered on the left leg of your "store bought" small clothes, instead!

    Under Armour boxer briefs are the most comfortable thing you can wear no matter whether it's pants or kilt or ...? Very comfy, secure and most importantly they leave no (dare I say it) panty line.
