    Re: Untucked shirt

    When I dress with a kilt, I put it on after the shirt (obviously over the tails). When I undress, the kilt comes off before the shirt.
    In a casual situation I might take a formal shirt off and replace it with a T-shirt or golf shirt, but it hasn’t happened yet.
    Tucking the bottom of the shirt in when the kilt is already on seems to me to be a bit tricky.

    Re: Untucked shirt

    With the exception of shirts that were specifically designed to be worn loose and untucked (hawiann or cabana shirts, sweaters, sweater vests, etc...) I am a tucked in kind of guy. With the kilt, always tucked in, period. As all but one of my kilts are wool, and most heavyweights, I cannot imagine strapping that much wool around my waist with that much coverage (remember traditional kilts cover a lot more of your abdomen) and binding it on with a kilt belt, regardless of the kilt lining, and expecting that to be comfortable for hours on end directly in contact with my soft underbelly skin. Never mind any additional skin oils/sweat that would be getting into the kilt directly instead of being wicked into the shirt norrmally, protecting the inside of the kilt and requiring less frequent potential cleanings.

    Re: Untucked shirt

    shirts get tucked in for kilt and pants.

    Polo's and rugby shirt are untucked for both. Both they end high enough not to be in the way of the sporran, and without the big plated belt

    sweaters and knitwear goes untucked as well, somehow my really thick knits are all a little long and I have to fault them at the front so they don't obscure my sporran.

    Re: Untucked shirt

    Yeah, Java makes a good point - I have a couple of casual shirts that are designed not to be tucked in...and, I don't. (But, I don't wear them with the kilt.)

    Re: Untucked shirt

    I dislike tucking shirts into pants when I don't need to (formal ware), but with kilts, even a Utilikilt and a t-shirt, things just seem to go together better tucked.

    Re: Untucked shirt

    Well....I myself am an "Untucker" I don't know if it's because of my generation or because I think I look slimmer with it untucked, but I've worn shirts, sweaters, hoodies, and even t-shirts untucked, the only thing I do tuck in is for when I'm going formal, things like a nice button down shirt with a vest or something.

    Re: Untucked shirt

    I tuck all my shirts with the kilt. T-shirt, polo, golf, or dress shirts look better tucked in a kilt. Plus like another poster said, it makes the shirt wick any oils from the skin therefore keeping them off the kilt.

    Re: Untucked shirt

    Always tucked in for me. When working in the summer doing trail work, whether in a kilt, shorts, or trousers, my t-shirt is tucked in. I find that having the t-shirt material betwixt myself and the waist band to be much more comfortable.
