 chafing
Two questions directly related. What to do about chafing between the thighs. The other what's with the scratchy wool? Does it stop being scratchy,can some treatment be done to make it softer.

Baby powder works nicely too, or, (gasp) undies.

If you ask me, undergarments CAN be more irritating with the kilt sometimes.

Agreed. But, they are, sometimes, also the solution.
For myself, if I notice a bit of chafing, I just throw some powder on and call it good. Cheap and simple, and does the job.

okay body glide , powder. Undies are not really the way to go though there are times that.... So what about the scratchy wool thing? The PV kilts don't seem to itch, but, sometimes wool is the way to go. So methods for softening the wool ,please  Thank you all.

The only time I experience chaffing is when I've put on a few pounds and that's because of friction between my thunder thighs and has nothing to do with the kilt proper.

When it comes to chaffing, I agree whole heartedly with Southern Breeze. As for softening wool and making it less scratchy... it's wool. I think you just have to suck it up and get used to it. I can say from experience that the most itchy garments I have owned have never lost their itchy qualities no matter what I put them through (short of felting). But after 20 - 30 minutes of wear they cease to be an iritation to me. I think I just get used to it. Several of my military uniforms were 100% wool, that didn't stop me from having to wear them and as such, it became a matter of "get over it or go crazy trying".
To this day my wool kilts itch for the first 20-30 minutes. After that I don't even notice it anymore. I know that there are products out there that claim to soften the wool, but I have not had any luck with the ones I have tried. Sorry.

 wool softeners
well I live in california and the heat and the possibility that I maybe alergic to wooltend to cause an irrataion that is extremely painful to walk. So sucking it up has been sucked and rated as sucking. Fortunately PV like stillwater is an option that I like but, I am atraditionalist. So I'm looking for options when it comes to wool :-?
