Gentlemen please....I believe the OP's question was about going regimental in public not the definition of a gentleman. I would like to submit that we are all gentlemen here, and trust me I work around the most un-gentlemanly people you could ever imagine.

On to the question of the OP. I have a desire to wear my kilt regimental and probably would most of the time except for one little thing. My soon-to-be-wife, who by the way has be very supportive of my new kilting lifestyle, has asked me not to. Therefore when I wear my kilt out in public 2-4 days a week I wear undergarments. It is not a lack of respect for my heritage, or the traditions of kilt wearing. It is simply a small sign of respect for my beloved.

For those of you who wear kilts regimental...congratulations. For those of you who don't...congratulations. Wearing a kilt is one way of showing your pride in your heritage, and in many people's eyes it is an extreme measure. I personally do not care what is underneath you kilts and those who do need to be issued a life for some government agency or another. I believe it was William J. Clinton who said "Don't ask, don't tell." Perhaps it is a motto we, The Kilted Rabble, should adopt forthwith.

Thank you for your time,

Graham
