New idea for underkilt

**Riverkilt** · 13th December 11, 07:32 AM

For sure! I live on a place called "The Windy Mesa" and it is. When wind goes under a kilt and finds an underkilt that underkilt takes away much of the force of the wind and helps prevent the pleats of the kilt from sailing up in the wind. Basic physics.

Certainly does help and wearing it doesn't restrict the flow of the kilt at all

Once again, we're dealing with the under kilt parallel to the old (and probably apocryphal) story about the Americans spending millions of dollars to develop a pen that would write in outer space while the Russians just used a pencil.

Out of all the readily available forms of mens underwear out there, there has to be something that you can wear comfortably. Personally, if the situation ever occurred where that which I am wearing under my kilt should be accidentally revealed, I would rather that it be found to be a pair of boxer briefs than some kind of man-slip.

Of course, I can see the desire to have a very special kilt specific item that's expensive and difficult to find as an alternative to just going to Target and buying a three pack of boxers...

To be honest I have never felt any lack of freedom in a kilt with a pair of soft cotton boxers underneath. At least the brand and make I wear.

Beyond hygiene, if it's 25 degrees with a 20 mile-per-hour breeze, I find it to be considerably warmer to just wear boxers. Cold isn't bad and windy isn't bad, but cold AND windy just doesn't do it for me. I'm not sure an underkilt would provide the same protection, but I've never tried it, so who knows.

Calvin Klein - Black Knit Boxers. There I've said it. So much for mystery.

To tell you the truth, I've never understood what the deal is with it being a mystery. It's not something I go around proclaiming on a T-shirt, but I could really care less if someone wants to know what I'm wearing under my kilt; whether it be shoes & socks or boxers. Maybe I'm doing it wrong, I don't know.

For personal hygiene and for the rest of us, especially since washing the kilt is painful.

If personal hygiene is not practised correctly, it's the KILT that's going to become a sticky!

OK, so let me make sure that I understand,

Many of you won't wear any men's briefs/boxer shorts out of principle, tradition, or comfort, but you ARE ready and willing to wear women's mini skirts, slips etc. under the kilt?

Wow. You do realize that this does nothing to dispel the condescending comments regarding "men in skirts" don't you?

Just giving everyone a reality check.
