    Chas, you are a font of interesting knowledge, my friend. I enjoy your posts.
    It came to light after he died. He was a snappy, but fussy dresser. One thing he didn't like was his underpants bunching up (caused ridges and ruined the line of his trousers) - this cured the problem.

    Regards

    Something I have truly never understood. If men cry FREEDOM , why, oh why do they then insist in binding up their danglers?

    All the types of underpants often mentioned are very good at keeping everything under control, but by doing that they take away all freedom.

    I freely admit to wearing Boxers (not boxer briefs). They give coverage but more importantly NO support. It is like wearing nothing at all.

    Modesty protected and all the FREEDOM I could want.

    Really, who wants to wear a g-string?

    Regards

    Chas

    Oic. Very interesting. Thank you for sharing. It was actually a very clever solution. His tailor gets props from me for thinking outside the box.

    Staple gun can also be very effective.

    Long shirt tails solves the problem. Or CrazyGlue and Velcro.

    Nathan, I saw on some website or another a zip out lining type thing... I think they were called commando pads. I thought it looked like a great idea. I think the theory behind the product is that one side of the zipper is attached to the lining of the kilt and the other is one the pad. But for the life of me I have been unable to find the website again.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Classic's... give the tack, tape and staple technic a go. Thistles one-sey idea has me thinking though.
    Never a real issue until now, have a formal 50yr anniversary to attend and prefer no heart attacks.
