Nightmare on Regimental Street!!

[Phil]

It is unfortunate, but I think it's a bit melodramatic to keep harping on the "regimental" aspect of it. You seem to be trying to make this into an anti-regimental crusade.

I hardly think so but if you wish to adopt such an extreme and adversarial position, so be it.

Let's face it: moths will attack wool whether it has these bodily secretions on it or not. I could show you a million examples of moth damage on portions of wool garments that are not in direct contact with skin. So the issue here is not so much that one shouldn't go regimental if he wants... it's more about keeping the kilt properly stored where moths can't destroy it.

I do believe this is pretty much what I said. I am not sure there is sufficient bandwidth for you to show so many examples but, in any case, my purpose was to highlight the particular damage here which I have clearly illustrated.

In other words, going regimental doesn't cause moth damage. It just focuses moth damage on one particular area. Using the correct avoidance techniques will prevent moth damage, no matter how you wear your kilt.

Exactly. You have succinctly summarised my point - so why the adversarial tone?

Looks like the kilt version of torn jeans - start a trend.

Only fear of that would be the location of the problem may cause some legal issues... Don't want anyone getting in trouble for Actual indecent exposure, we get enough allegations of that without holes (and WITH undergarments that would make it impossible)

Those pictures are honestly terrifying. I can't imagine if that happened to my kilt. I truly would be devestated.

Underwear is also available unbifurcated - FREEDOM!!!

I did not intend an adversarial tone, any more than you did. I just noticed the multitude of references in your posts to the "regimental" angle. If, as you claim, your point was that kilts should be properly stored regardless of how they're worn, why all the drama about "regimentalism"?

I think the title of this thread pretty much set the tone, in terms of drama, whether you meant it to or not.

At any rate, we agree on what matters, so I see no reason to quibble over 'tone'.

The bottom line is moths like wool and you must protect it. I am sure the climate of where you live has a role as well.

I didn't know people still had moths. I remember my great grandmother had moth balls EVERYWHERE but I haven't seen a moth in ages.
