Okay fine...baffles me how the kilt can be masculine but the kilt protection isn't. Don't see the need to be bifurcated under the kilt to be manly or to protect myself from cross dressing accusations.

So, I'll tell a story again. There was a famous Spanish bullfighter renowned for his skill and courage in the ring. One evening, after the bullfights, he had some friends over to his house for supper and a party.

The bullfighter was also a great cook and prepared the dinner for his friends himself. He put on an apron while he was cooking and one of his friends began teasing him for wearing something "feminine." He turned and looked hard at the man and said, "Sir, I'll have you know that EVERYTHING I wear is masculine."

If I choose to purchase, and wear, underkilts to protect my kilt and still preserve the FREEDOM of being regimental - then those underkilts are masculine.

Your mileage may differ.

Now, if I can just figure a way to rig some security pockets on the sides I'll be a happy camper.
