the unseemly question

[beloitpiper]

I put depends on the weather, but really I wear skivvies while marching, and I'm regimental the rest of the time.

That is a famous photo, and it has been photo-shop enhanced. The officer in question did not - repeat DID NOT - expose himself while sitting beside the Queen.

I didn't know that and I'm glad you told me. I guess just because of the circumstances I thought it might have been altered but from an amateurs point of view it's a fairly convincing job of photoshopping. I mean even the perspective on the sporran is relatively correct.

I'm glad for that officer's career it wasn't real.

I picked depends on mood because as others have mentioned, it depends on what I'm doing.

I am just the opposite of others here. I will never go regimental in a good wool kilt. It is a fact of human life that things leak. No fault of anyone, no medical problems, everyone does it and it cannot be stopped. Don't believe me, ask the person who used to wash your underwear. (in fact keeping outer clothing clean is the reason underwear was invented in the first place.)
There is no way I will even take a chance of soiling my good kilts. Not for tradition (which I believe is a crock anyway), not for comfort (it's just not that comfortable for me, too much chafe even with body glide), and certainly not to attract the attention of ladies, (They don't really want to see that much anyway).

After having military kilts come into my shop for re-pressing and finding the inside of the aprons disgusting I will never again go without when wearing a valuable Wool Kilt.

I can see where you are coming from Steve and what you say makes sense.
I wear underwear occasionally with my kilts. I am not kilted all that often compared to the people who wear one every day, and I am not in a kilt for more than an evening usually when I am kilted so I dont think my kilts see enough "leaking" to get disgusting.

If I am going somewhere that it is necessary to wear undergarments then I will, no doubt.

I teach very small children on Sundays. Around them I am underprepared. The rest of the time I prefer to be regimental. Most of my T-shirts are in tall size, and extend well down in my kilt. My kilt is well protected.

[Coemgen]

It depends on the weather, my mood, and whether or not I'm going to be around people who might be inclined to … ahem … "reveal" me to the world (I have some pretty weird friends - or rather my weird friends' friends are very odd and tend to engage in mind altering activities of dubious legality ).

I actually agree with you 100 percent. If I am spending $400+ for a wool kilt, the last thing I am going to do is sit my bare **** on it! Black boxer briefs worked have worked fine for me for years.

[Dukeof Kircaldy]

OK, if we are going for comfort. I have a problem with wool and warm temperatures. Given I am a purist, i.e., my kilt needs to be 100% wool: no kilt in the summer heat for me.

[JimB]

Ok, I'm going to be one of the odd ones here, but no way would I go regimental in my kilt. It's not a comfort thing for me because the kilt is so darn comfortable anyway. It's a hygiene thing. Like was said earlier, things leak and I'll be darned if I'm going to leak on my kilts. I love them way too much.
