    Re: Long Shirts with a kilt?

    I was talking about tucked in shirts with long tails.

    It may just be a personal problem with me due to the vast expanse of "Riverkilt bottom" that the fabric must traverse....

    And I think the "problem" is that once I sit down on the tail of the tucked in shirt there's no "give" to lean my body forward - as if to pick up something I've dropped or tie a shoe - while still seated....

    Re: Long Shirts with a kilt?

    Yes, the idea is to have space and air flow between your body and your garment; not to say there couldn't be layers to block the direct heat of the sun. A tunic-like garment or a low yardage kilt could do that.

    I have not worn any sort of Middle Eastern garment; some people in this area do, though, and there are probably all sorts.

    I have, however, worn a poncho, also a wearing blanket.

    Bugbear Et All
    Indeed wear a long shirt with the kilt(to just above the knees)if you have a problem with the shirt riding up because you are 'rotund' have your tailor put two gussets at the base of the shirt, to give you some movement. The problem with circa 2011 shirts is they are tailored too close to the body, to make agood fit under a kilt when you sit in them. That is just one reason why circa 2011 shirts are BVD lenght.
    (No pictures of this writer in BVD"s included (LOL) )
