Moving to the new "Military History & Heritage Subforum" - first one! I'll leave a five-day re-direct for those who are looking for it.

I hate to beat a dead horse as I know this is something that has been discussed time and time again here, but I was not active here for close to a decade. I found another interesting advertisement in an old thread (http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/f...rs-ebay-75780/) reading:
KILT DRAWERS. If worn, those made from tartan are most suitable for day time. (emphasis added).
Now it could be that, as mentioned previously, they were dispensed with for reasons of convenience (difficulty in laundering, lice, etc.) or perhaps it was optional or entirely at the discretion of the CO of any given unit. I guess it really does not matter and is an academic matter at this point.

Note that that was a 1930s civilian catalogue and we are now in the Military History and Heritage Subforum.
As you say, the matter has been well covered, most recently in
