I'll vote for black boxer's, loose fitting, gives the freedom, protection and hygeine (sp) we need.

Iain,

Could it have been a case of whichever colour matched the predominant colour in the tartan of the kilt? In this way it would have helped to disguise any accidental flashes of underwear, i.e. a good camouflage colour.

I wonder, would you be the same Rob I corresponded with on Toms a year
ago?

I was working with kids, from age 7-1/2 until about 15 this summer, and clearly, this was an issue I had to confront. Due to the nature of the camp (being a Jewish camp) we have Israeli dancing as part of our regular schedule, and much jumping, spinning, etc... is involved. Wearing pants is prohibitively hot I found in those circumstances, kilt was my best option. I opted for boxers (not neccessarily black, soemtimes bright blue if it was close to hand). Thankfully I was never that exposed, as my PK in all it's denim glory hung pleasantly heavy. My vote for when the unmentionables are needed: boxers, they provide (at least to me) the best comfort available, and can be found in a great variety of amusing colour/designs if you be so inclined. Oh, and the kids and staff alike loved the kilt ;)

Yes Jack, that's me. It is good to hear from you again, and I am glad that you are well again now. I seem to remember that we were discussing the possibility of meeting up at a highland games some time. Perhaps next summer if you are fit and up to it. I am sure that some of the others here would be interested.

Regards,

Rob

Now THOSE are the only undies I can possibly see myself wearing under my kilt. With the exception of when I am competing in the games (the obvious reason for this is safety and modesty... my fellow atheletes will definately concur), I haven't found a reason to wear anything under my kilt. There have been moments while out on a pub crawl that I have considered wearing something down yonder but somehow I always find a reason not to :-P

As a traditional kiltwearer of 20 years experience, I'd say as a Scotsman one should try and maintain tradition and go regimental - it's expected and can be achieved without embarrasment given experience. However there are occasions when the wearing of the kilt for prolonged periods of time can get up an allergic reaction and whereas creams can be applied (see previous postings and censored thread) it is useful to wear something to allow the rash to die down. Also in the company of children and family and indeed work colleagues it is often desireable to feel confident that there won't be unnecessary exposures. A recent survey on www.sporranclan.org discloses that kilt wearers 87% go regimental, 2 % wear a thong, 6% a jock strap, 2% black panties and 3% anything that comes to hand.
So what's my preference: Boxers are definately no go. They are more likely to be seen. Some wearers have disclosed the most tasteless articles I have ever seen and deserve to be shot at dawn - if they are to be worn at all best to be lycra and close fitting to avoid detection.
I'd approve black panties (not for me) but they are tasteful and worn by dancers in competition (excluding military).
A black or mesh thong is good 'cos if the kilt lifts at the back no one thinks you are wearing anything and thus to all intents and purposes you are regimental (and rarely does the front get lifted due to weight of the Sporran). I find jock straps confortable, but that is a personal preference (Good if one is doing a lot of photo shoots and has to bend down frequently).
Have a look at www.internationaljock.com there is much to choose from there that might aid a discrete cover up and support.
