    have just decided to buy a womens underskirt and cut it to length
    That wouldn't work, as it would tend to curl up once you cut away the bottom hem. Women's underskirts are much thinner than the purpose built "satin" kilt liners on e-bay which are actually made from polyester. The cutaway cotton T-shirt stitched onto an old jockey waistband could be rather warm in summer and wouldn't help the kilt to sit smoothly in the way that a nylon or polyester liner would. Personally I prefer a polyester liner in summer and a cotton one in winter, but if I am wearing a non-wool kilt, ie one which can be thrown into the washing machine I wouldn't usually bother wearing any liner with it as they do tend to restrict the feeling of freedom which is one of the great joys of kilt wearing.

    i just want a clean kilt and for the price i pay i don't want to spoil the thing
    i cant see myself owning any other kilt for a good few years with the way money is now so this one kilt will have to do me for sometime till cash is better

    I'm not really bothered about the market its not like I'm going to sell them at all ...its for me and me only when talking to my pop and other folk about it tonight they just laughed but hey they can stain there kilt all they want i just want a clean kilt at the end of the day each to there own
    for the price of womens underskirts if i did cut it and the thing ended up useless after a few times id just chuck it in the bin i`ll be lucky to wear my kilt any more than 5-6 times in a year anyway
    i reckon hire shops should have them as part of personal hygiene for staff and future customers as there is so many nastys that can be caught just buy handling hired gear and the last thing you want is yer bits touching some blokes stains later in the month

    Gentlemen, gird up your masculinity while I take you on a journey underneath my very kilt. Now if I were to take you there in the summer all you would find was what God intended, but if it were fall, winter or spring, as it is now, you will find some form of kilt liner. Here is how I come by them: I venture into the ladies section of any of my local thrift stores and pick up women's skirts for two to five dollars. I'm talking simple elastic-waistband tubular sheaths made from cotton, acrylic, poly or wool. I hem them to an inch or so above the knee and wear them under all of my wool kilts. I'm protecting my kilts from body soil and I"m toastier than you are.

    Normally I don't talk about what is worn under my kilt, but I'm amongst brothers here, aren't I? Just don't tell anybody I'll told you.
    I've kilt for less.
