    Thank you so much, WIzard!

    What a great explanation.

    I reckon you've identified that the problem I have is irritation of the skin rather than an allergy, as I don't get a rash, and the problem does actually seem to be mechanical. So it looks as though wool should be OK as long as I can find a suitable undergarment that won't worry those around me (I am congenitally incapable of embarrassment, but I don't want to upset our new relatives-in-law).

    Also, it sounds as though the Marton Mill fabric would either make a good alternative or a backup plan.

    You've confirmed my thoughts on a Utility Kilt. I wasn't that keen on it myself - It was my wife who suggested it as an alternative because, as she so delicately put it to me, "you look slimmer in Utility Kilts". I still haven't worked out whether a) this is true or b) a "Made to Measure" traditional style kilt will suit my shape better than "Off the shelf" or c) she is just trying to get me to lose weight...

    Again - Many thanks
