Military Origin of ‘True Scotsman’ Tradition

[Troglodyte]

The thing is, though, if as kilt-wearers we are not bound by military regulations, does it really matter if the kilt is worn 'regimental' style or therwise?

On the point of hygiene, wearing something appropriate under the kilt seems sensible, as underwear will be laundered regularly and frequently but not so the kilt.

Also, there is a point to be made in the interests of modesty and thought for others. Not everyone likes to be subjected to what others seem determined to show off, and pride in the display usually far excededs the merits of what is displayed.
