didn't mean to disrespect
For those who wear the kilt out of respect for their heritage, or as a symbol of a particular clan, etc., I can see wear the wearing of "silly" underwear might be construed by some as "disrespectful". Even when I wear my kilt "casually", I am still very aware of the heritage and history behind it.
It is certainly not my intention to disrespect anyone, I hope that my previous post wasn't taken as a shot at James or anyone else that posted, it was meant to just be an explaination.
I think it is great that most of you have the ability to wear a kilt regimental, however when you only have half the goodies that most men have that is a very uncomfortable proposition, I have to have some support. I would also love to have an 8 yard traditional hand made kilt, but once again since I don't I have to wear what I can afford.
I was thinking of using the shamrock boxers as a way to cover all bases, as what I normally wear is as close to regimental as I can go, there is little 'coverage', but lots of support.
All the traditionalist views have given me something to think about, and I will over the next few days. I appreciate the insite that comes with this site from both traditionalists and non-traditionalist. The information that is posted here on a daily basis is more than anyone could ask for, which is why the original question was asked here.
I wear my kilts with pride everytime I put it on I think of the heritage that is related to that particular tartan, I only wear universal tartans for this reason, until I design my own tartan that is.
I hope that I have not upset, disrespected or otherwise caused people to be stress.
On that note, I will stop posting to this particular thread and simply read the information that is posted on it. I hope that no one except my wife ever knows what is under my kilt on March 18th.
Thank you all for your input and things for me to think on over the next few days.
