I also e-mailed an order to them some months ago and never got any reply. I decided just to make one myself - by cutting off the bottom part of an old white cotton T-shirt below the armpits and sewing it onto an old Jockey Y-fronts waistband. But I've never chosen to wear it yet - IMHO somehow the idea of flashing acres of white slip when you birl round or the wind catches your kilt would detract from the mystique of keeping people speculating how high the kilt will blow and what's under. I tend to favour dark coloured briefs as an ultimate line of modesty. However from what I've read on this and other forums it seems that many men do wear underkilts/slips nowadays with their kilts so perhaps I ought to give it a try.

I don't know anything definitively, but as no one is speaking up, I recall hearing a few months back that J'Dez had in fact gone out of business. This could be heresy, or I may have simply gotten it wrong, so feel free to correct me.

I browsed thru the rest of his web site when I saw this thread resurect and noticed that he has renamed his products so that they are not specifically refered to as "Kilt" but as "Short/Kilt".

Looks like the discussion earlier prompted an adjustment in verbage. I'd say that's a positive result. That's all I'll say so as not to relite the the debate.

OK, i'm new to the kilt, but reading these kilt protector threads, it makes a lot of sense to me. some say they wear boxers, some modify a t-shirt and attach it somehow. it seems to me a simple approach is to buy a voluminous pair of boxers (i'm thinking the kind with the flat waistband, and made of the stretchy, t-shirt-like material material (i have some by Perry Ellis i got a a discount store. you can just cut the crotch seem and voila! instant kilt protector/helmet guard, with freedom to move, visit the necessary w/o removing them, etc. those who are so inclined could re-hem them to reduce unraveling.

this is just an untested idea at this point, but the only problem i can see might be that the undergarment might ride up from rubbing on the kilt. once i try it i'll report back if there is any interest.

I'm going to make some dark green ones for myself and see how they work out. We've got a serger machine in the house that I use to taper my t-shirts so they fit better. I just need to whip out a couple of these from bargain dark green tshirts and two of my least favorite pairs of skivvies. I'll report back with the results. O'Neille

It would seem that for a good fit, the underkilt/protector would have to hang similarly to the way that the kilt hangs, that is, with pleats in the rear. Otherwise, don't the kilt's pleats drag on the undergarment and interfere with the swing of the pleats? Also, I would guess that sitting, getting up, and performing other activities while wearing two kilts/unbifurcated garments of two different shapes on top of each other would cause problems such as bunching up, or hanging awry. Am I wrong?

I kinda doubt it. It really wouldn't be any different practically than wearing a long shirt. I don't think it would bother the pleats or the swing any.
