Another Question

[ABG0819]

Gentlemen please....I believe the OP's question was about going regimental in public not the definition of a gentleman. I would like to submit that we are all gentlemen here, and trust me I work around the most un-gentlemanly people you could ever imagine.

On to the question of the OP. I have a desire to wear my kilt regimental and probably would most of the time except for one little thing. My soon-to-be-wife, who by the way has be very supportive of my new kilting lifestyle, has asked me not to. Therefore when I wear my kilt out in public 2-4 days a week I wear undergarments. It is not a lack of respect for my heritage, or the traditions of kilt wearing. It is simply a small sign of respect for my beloved.

For those of you who wear kilts regimental...congratulations. For those of you who don't...congratulations. Wearing a kilt is one way of showing your pride in your heritage, and in many people's eyes it is an extreme measure. I personally do not care what is underneath you kilts and those who do need to be issued a life for some government agency or another. I believe it was William J. Clinton who said "Don't ask, don't tell." Perhaps it is a motto we, The Kilted Rabble, should adopt forthwith.

Thank you for your time,

Graham

I very much agree, the question of being regimental or not, is one of choice and respect. It is my choice, but I respect my wife's wishes and wear wee trews in her company.

For me it really boils down to I feel I will be most comfortable; if I am going to on my feet most of the time then regitmental is not a problem, indeed may be preferred. However if I am going to be seated quite a bit, regitmental may not be the preferred way to go.

Just because there is an expectation of being regimental to others, there is absolutly no reason you should do anything other than what makes you comfortable.
