Back to the reality 0f unkilted garments

[Jimmy]

Back to work today, off with the kilt which I had worn since Friday night in Pitlochry for the weekend and on with the pants. Like most on the forum when you wear the kilt for a few days, you want to wear it all the time but the reality is that in a lot of cases it is not practical at times
The main problem I find is that like 90% of kilt wearers, I dont wear anything under the kilt and don't want to.
So you always have to be aware when you sit down and do certain tasks, how many times have we seen some indiscreet kiltie in a too relaxed pose and obviously wearing nothing under his kilt. Embarrasing to everyone is'nt it?
So is the kilt really the most practical dress for men?, I know it is the best but I would feel wrong if I wore anything under the kilt

This problem occured with me at the recent Ashbourne Highland Games. I was bying a hot dog at a very high counter and dropped a 20p coin. I thought 'Shall I just leave it' then the true Scotsman kicked in and I bent down to pick it up!

The kilt is a totally practical garment for everyday wear I wear the kilt every where and have done for more than 50 years you soon get used to wearing it without showing anything

I agree. Whilst care should always be taken, particularly by newcomers, I think in reality we show rather less than we think we do.

Unfortunately,the ambulance service won't let me wear the kilt with my uniform to work, I did try to get them to let me do it when the Mod was in Town, but they wouldn't wear it. (Pardon the pun..)

A well tailored kilt, worn properly will show nothing that shouldn't be shown.

Also - A gent dresses according to the best display.

As one of the people that wear the kilt everyday, I prefer the kilt alone. On those days when I know that I will be around a lot of small children such as teaching Sunday School at my church, then I wear something with the kilt. I do not wish to add anatomy to the class discussion.

Since I am the first post from West of the puddle, it is also a matter of pride of my heritage East of the puddle that I wear the kilt, and accept that the part that the public expect to see is what is really important.

Steve, you are right perhaps at certain times it would be better that something is worn under the kilt, but i think if I wore the kilt more often, say at work, although it would not be a good idea, wearing underwear would be more appropriate.
one thing most will agree with when wearing a kilt is always to be aware of the prying and snooping eyes for a glance under your kilt.

Its always good to be noticed when kilted and getting your tartan acknowledged correctly, the kilt I was wearing was one the least known McLeod tartans, and in the pub last night, a lady started to talk to me recognising this tartan. Only problem was I was about to bring the drinks from the bar to the table but found it hard to break away from this nice lady's conversation to the anger of my thirsty friends

Had an unusual circumstance this weekend: wearing a kilt at a wedding reception and had someone rather indignantly claim to have seen some of my bits and pieces when I crouched to pick something up.

The thing is I was wearing black briefs, since I knew that there would be children and the reception was at a ridgetop farm (very gusty).

I moved on rapidly after stating clearly that the situation they described was simply not humanly possible.

Some people seem to look for things to be offended about.

Despite the "risks" a kilt is a much more modest garment than pantz. I always feel immodest when I come back to pantz after wearing a kilt. Its like the modest covering of a kilt has disappeared. An undressed feeling.

I wore my first kilt September 6,2009. I have been kilted every day since that date. I have worn a kilt to church, weddings, funerals, aniversary parties. I have experienced no adverse reation to the kilt. Therefore I believe a kilt is proper attire for any occasion or function. Yes, I do wear something under the kilt when I am going to be around a lot of people and/or children. Also, I would wear something under if high winds are expected. I do volunteer work for Meals On Wheels and I do keep a pair of shorts in my desk because I sometimes have to climb a ladder with people around.
I am totally committed to the kilt. I just donated all my pants and shorts to the Good Will Industry.
