In a casual context, I never wear anything with a kilt that I wouldn't wear with a pair of jeans.

I have a Jacobite shirt that was made especially for me, but I couldn't stand the laces. I simply replaced the laces with bone toggle buttons {two peg-shaped buttons connected by heavy thread).
That said, I don't wear it much, even though it's cotton and breathes well. The temperatures at most kilted events here require no more than a light tee or polo.
I'm not a big fan of Jacobite shirts, mostly because I don't like the leather lacing at the neck. Also, I think I'm big enough that I'd look like the Sta-puft marshmellow man in one.
But, to each his own. They look just fine on other people.
"To the make of a piper go seven years of his own learning, and seven generations before. At the end of his seven years one born to it will stand at the start of knowledge, and leaning a fond ear to the drone he may have parley with old folks of old affairs." - Neil Munro
