I agree with James on the issue of comic underwear. I'm not a traditionalist in the sence that I own a wool, taylored kilt. My kilts are Stillwaters, Buzz Kidders, and Amerikilts. However, one thing that I have gained from my membership here at XMarks is a respect for the kilt and it's rich heritage. I never go regimental, but I always were solid color briefs.

Certainly this is all a personal choice, but when I wear my kilts I want to project an image of being well dressed, an image that projects pride in my appearance, and pride in the kilt. If I have an accidental exposure, then all that will be seen are dark colored briefs.

I even wear my Amerikilts with kilt hose, flashes, and a crest badge on the sporran. The kilt is contemporary, but worn in a way that honors the traditions on which it is based. I think this blend of contemporary and traditional attire compliment each other quite well. Of course this is just my opinion, and the way I prefer to dress, whether the kilt is a traditional style or contemporary.
