If you need something for sanitary reasons, put on some boxer shorts and leave the slips to the chicks.
This whole thread sounds like a Tom's Cafe thread and in my opinion. The slip should have stayed there with the rest of the freestyler/crossdresser accessories.
I don't like JDEZ's marketing methods and have told him so. I don't like the way he calls all his skirts kilts and have told him so. He's never made a kilt.
This is a kilt forum (or so it says on the door) and his products have no place here.
I am not alone in my opinion. I have e-mails from others with the same opinion and I'm there's lots of Scottish guys that are way more traditional than me out there that are sickened by the things that are being called kilts.
I'm publicly asking for Hank to step in and make a decision here. Is this a kilt site or a freestyle site? I bet the answer to that will be of interest to your advertisers!
Bear, I have to ask the question, why do you care so much what somebody decides to wear, or not wear, under their kilt. I have to agree with Mowgli that I think that JDez has been very straight forward in his replies and open to suggestions for improvement. While this might very well be just good marketing technique and somebody trying to sell a product, it is much more palatable than your blatant attack. I am not a frequenter of Tom's cafe because I feel that it caters to people that wear alternative clothing for far different reasons than my reasons for wearing a kilt. But I don't judge or bedgrudge them their reasons. Would you also ban someone because they happen to be a member of Tom's cafe, or any other site?
You are making some absolute statements

How would you know? Have you worn every possible type of traditional kilt and with every possible body type that ranges from myself to Riverkilt to Iolaus to Raphael to yourself? How can you know what constitutes comfort for somebody else? You even qualify your absolute statement by restricting it to just the wool and poly/viscose variants.
Finally,

Hank may step in or he may not. I don't know his mind or his goals for this forum, but your comment would have had slightly more impact in my mind you you were actually an advertiser in this site and not just another person with an opinion.
Anyway, I am off my rant. I just don't understand your overt belligerence to JDez, but I will acquiesce that you might have had other interactions that are driving your opinion.
