Back To Prison

[Rex_Tremende]

Curious how those of you who alternate back and forth between kilts and confinement deal with the sensations.

I go from a suit for the work-day to a kilt at home (or a sarong - or less - if it is hot and I am not going anywhere). I can't say that I've noticed any strange sensation when I get dressed in the morning - probably because I switch back and forth so often.

A lot of people complain when they have to wear a suit, but I have been careful to make sure that my suits and dress shirts fit properly (I currently have six suits in rotation, and just noticed that the newest haberdashery in town is having a nice sale). I actually enjoy choosing my clothes and getting dressed for work - much as those who've said that they are more attentive to their appearance when they put together a kilt ensemble. My suits are wool, they flex and breathe as they should, and provided that I haven't gained or lost too many pounds, I'm always comfortable in them.

(Denim jeans are another matter altogether - and I recently posted a lament about that.)

I rarely wear boxers; for some reason, whenever I do, my parts always seem to get twisted up in all the seams. For that reason I typically wear tighty-whities, boxer briefs, bikini/sport briefs, or, when the cut of the trousers calls for it, le thong. For me, it's best to have it all arranged in a nice package that stays put when I want it to.

That said, when the day is done, the boys like to hang out. There's a sense of relief when the skivvies come off, but nothing odd when they go on.

Like you, Ron, I've been kilted 11 months- though not full time as I continue to work in trousers. I'm a mechanic and its a filthy job. I'd hate to have to scrub my legs up to the knees AS WELL as my hands to the elbows every day. If I were to wear a kilt to work (there'd be no problem with management) it would have to be a black kilt that was up to VERY frequent laundering. Monday is my day to feel like I've returned to prison. A weekend of full freedom always seems to exacerbate the confinement. The rest of the week I'm OK with trousers while working. But soon, maybe very soon, I'll have to look into some economical work kilts. Hmmmm....do USAK casuals come in black?

Wanted to post another note about cutting that mesh out of a man's swimsuit, DO IT! We went to the pool last night with the girls and I grabbed the seam ripper before leaving and spent a quick 3 minutes taking out the mesh lining. Ahhh, freedom. Much better. And I was careful to not cut the mesh that makes up the slash pockets, so I did nothing to alter the functionality of the suit, although why a swimsuit needs pockets, I have never really understood. Maybe if you wear them as shorts to the pool and want to carry keys, wallet, etc., then take them out when you arrive.

Rex, I commend you on actually admitting that you sometimes wear a thong!! I KNEW I was not the only one on here. Regimental is great, but when I'm working or playing hard I like to know exactly where things are and no undergarment I've ever had leaves me feeling as close to Regimental as a thong.

I wrote a post about the advantages of thongs in the 'speedos under the kilt' thread but I don't think it got published. I find it somehow odd that so many men who will try the grand departure from modern clothing of wearing a kilt would not at least try this practical garment at least once. For a prohibitted topic, "what is worn under the kilt," we certainly like to talk about it, Moderators included.

As for bathing suits I cut out the liner and, of course, wear a thong ... the purpose of the liner, and there IS a purpose, is to keep you from embarrassing yourself should you become aroused and to keep others from seeing up your shorts when climbing in and out of the pool ... it's the sporran of bathing suits.

Of course, skinny dipping is always more fun but how many folks actually have a place they can do that. I suppose that swimming in a kilt while Regimental could be a similar experience .... nah.

I'll tell ya what, if I had a place to go skinny dippin' it be .....

Kilt Off!!
