Long Johns Under a Kilt

[Sylvain]

Is there such a thing as thick/heavy/woolen/whatever boxer briefs? I find my regular boxer briefs a bit warmer than regimental, regular boxers, or regular briefs. If they came in a heavier fabric than cotton, those might do the trick.

... Would this look totally inappropriate? Or have others been there too? Just curious. Brian Mackay "Manu Forti"

Firstly, longjohns are underwear. I wouldn't wear them exposed under a kilt just the same as I would not wear jockey shorts on the outside of my trousers or an undershirt over a sweater (jumper).

Secondly, regardless of whether it's lonjohns or other legwear, it just looks Nancy on a fella wearing a kilt... at least in this timeline.

Thirdly, If it's so cold that you need longjohns, forget the kilt and wear them with trousers.

(Last time this came up, it believe it turned into a long discussion about aboriginal leggings.)

I've got to agree: if it's too cold to kilt, you ought to be in flannel lined Carhartts.

Bryan...who was going to ski in a kilt at Aspen this year? that's not too far away...

Longjohns and kilts -thats worse than kilts and tights!
Who was planning on skiing while kilted? Last year I did it several times wearing shorts.This year wearing a kilt while doing so will be a priority.If something won't kill me or give me something the docs can't cure' I'll try it at least twice. :grin:

Well said, Blu. I would not show my underwear to anyone, anymore than I would jump - kilted of course - across the Grand Canyon! LongJohns and kilts? Uggggh! No way!

Shortly after I became kilted in the mid-summer of this year, I began to ponder how I would survive the Canadian winter here in Vancouver. In the past, I have resorted to wool trousers OVER long underwear. Otherwise I suffer. (I'm ectomorphic: 5'10" and 145lb) I wanted a solution and I wanted it to be a regimental solution.
Simultaneously, I was beginning to get excited about the approaching hockey season. When I pictured some of my favorite players in my mind's eye, I saw them in very long, very thick socks. Hmmm...
I wondered, How do those big bruising guys keep their hockey socks up? Turns out that every player in the NHL wears a garter belt under his hockey shorts to keep his socks up. And yes, that is what it is called. Now don't get me wrong, this is not a woman's item this is a manly accessory made for men. Men who play one of the roughest games around. So I thought I would check this out at my local hockey shop. Sure enough, they had garter belts for about $10 and hockey socks for $15, together just about the price of a decent pair of kilt hose. I plunged in. (By the way, if you too take the dive, buy junior size socks. They're meant to accomodate lots of pads, so mens hockey socks are way too big for this application.) The store I went to had both plain colours and of course, all the popular team colours.
The result? Well, I tried it in the privacy of my own home where its fairly warm, and I could tell these would get me through pretty much anything local nature could throw at me. But I've got sensitive skin, and these puppies are made out of a pretty rough polyester. They irritated me a little. I'll have to try washing them to see if I can reduce their "tooth". The garter belt was a piece of ****. A velcro-ed elastic strap for around the waist and four pendulant straps with length adjustment buckles that deformed the first time I used them. I'll sew them to length and throw away the buckles.
And the first frigid day we get, I'm going to strap these on under one of my 8 yarders and head out into the Canadian winter. But I can't help thinking that I'll also feel just a little kinky underneath it all, and I KNOW I'll have a different answer for THE QUESTION.

Okay Bear you win! The undertones and vibes in this message leave me much less than enthusiastic to read new massages on XMarks. I retract any offenses that I might have made about your response to the underkilt thread.

Will buying a kilt from you be sufficient penance?

And in re-reading the post above, it is just wrong for this board.

Tiran, I assume that everything here represents intra-Canadian attitudes, but anyway, I got a good laugh from your increasing levels of laughter!
