Itchy kilts

[Ancienne Alliance]

OK - now I see where you are going.... I have kilts that have the lining made of silk, cotton, and synthetic. I think the most effective linings are the cotton ones. If I were to choose the perfect lining I think it would be Egyptian Cotton, similar to good bed sheets.

That's perfect ! We were thinking of a nice cotton.
Bike shorts sounds like a fun thing to wear ! Thank you Barb !

You could always switch to PV Kilts and that would really fix the itchy.

Brother, it's hard enough getting me out of my kilts, you make them that comfy, and I'll NEVER take 'em off!

Of course. The "problem" however doesn't really concern little old me... Chrystel will be making kilts for people wanting to wear a 16oz., for instance , but really have an itching problem with wool. It's rather nice to suggest a built-in alternative for those customers .

The long kilt shirt is a solution. Steve at Freedom kilts makes them.




I had one made in the drop shoulder style made of muslin cotton unbleached.

That's great! I'd never heard of these before. Great pic too!

I've also had that concern, mostly during the hot summers. I've lately thought that getting a soft cotton lining sewn in that was most of the length of the inner apron would help a lot (and would serve the purpose of something like a long shirt). Perhaps also in the back, sewn only as far as the hips in order to keep the pleats swinging freely, but still falling down enough to cover the backs of the legs from itchiness. This may be what others are already talking about, but that's what I was thinking of having done the next time I think about ordering a kilt.

I have merino wool socks that are not itchy at all. See if merino wool is available in your tartan.

Uh, was that photo planned or something caught whilst unawares?

Another solution is to take a new t-shirt, cut it off just under the arms, then sew a piece of elastic around the cut part. The elastic should be the size of your waist.
Step into the tube you just made then wrap your kilt around.
Voila, instant under-kilt.
