For informal summer wear the Hawaian shirt, preferably gaudy, is the perfect compement for the kilt, preferably with none of the same colours as the shirt.

Last Summer, Lady Hillary and I went to a "Hawaiian" wedding. The invite included to wear "something Hawaiian." Lady Hillary made [at my request] a lava lava. I got comments on my good legs. I am considering having a less formal one made for sailing, as it was very comfortable.

During the evening, several women asked me the usual question--Is there anything worn under your kilt, lad? The answer, of course was--Nae, it's as good as it ever was.

At the New York Boat show, I was talking with the kiltie lad who was demoing Johnnie Walker Scotch. His answer--Lipstick, if I'm lucky.

Is that an alternate spelling for sgian dubh, or just a guess? Peircing someone's ears is possibly one of the oddest punishments I've heard of. I wouldn't expect ears to be something a guy with a knife would attack after another guy accuses him of wearing a skirt.

Kilts are great, I think we've agreed this. Especially with a tux and bow tie, but what about the sporran? It is essential but what sort? Myself I favour the semi dress sporrans which have some fur but not to much! Full dress sporrans look a little silly IMHO.

What is all this with the 'little kilt'(philabaeg*?).
Surely the only thing to wear is the 'Great Kilt'? (philamhor*?)

It serves as both upper and nether garment (and if the wearer is a little short, cape or hood), as well as blanket, provides it's own capacious pockets (depending on the folding) and, unlike the little kilt requires no waiting time to make once the cloth has been obtained.

I'll confess I've only ever worn one twice, but found it quite comfortable (and yes it can be worn with jackets etc, but doesn't need them).

No but there is a Brueghel painting where a lady is doing the same thing and the men are doing anything BUT turn away!

Serious question:
There is a fairly famous oil painting of some people sitting in front of a hearth warming themselves. The men in kilts have their skirts lifted and a woman in the picture has turned away modestly.
Anyone know the name of the painting or the artist?

At St Andrews by the sea,

We love our evening walk out on the pier.

At St Andrews by the sea,

When drunks fall off, we give a mighty cheer.

The bejantines are bashful when the kilts fly overhead --

In fact we've seen some pretty faces turn from pink to red,

But God help man the day they turn their heads away instead

At St Andrews by the sea!

-- Heard at St Andrews University, Scotland, 1959. Bejantine = female freshman.

When I was in a commune in Virginia (1972-1981) I made miniskirts for myself by ripping the inseams out of shorts & resewing them front & back. They had atachments for carrying various implements. I wore various things under them, from jockstraps to quilted pants, according to the season. I have sometimes toyed with the idea of adapting them for the outside world by equipping them with a button & buttonhole or a hook & eye for fastening front to back thru the crotch for instant quasirespectability.

Every year I go to the Ligonier Highland games for the scenery and I do not mean Pennsylvania's Laurel Highlands.   
There is nothing in this world like a well formed man in a kilt. I love to watch the hammer throw. They spin around for that one, in kilts, of course.

Many years ago, at an S.C.A. event, a suitably kilted Scot met a woman who asked what he was wearing under it. The Scot was fairly drunk, so he pulled up his kilt and showed her. She screamed and hid her face like she'd never seen one before. (She'd seen several.)
Pleased with the reaction, when he met a foppish cavalier, he pulled his kilt up again, with a suitable whoop.
The fop looked, shook his head and said, "Is that all."



Now I risk being annoying, but, my freshman year in college I was dating a senior named, alas Bill Bailey. We weren't serious about each other. But several of the girls predicted our marriage, since he WAS a senior, after all.
I made the mistake of telling one of them that I wanted my bridegroom to wear a kilt if I ever got married.
"Does Bill know that!" she demanded.
"You better tell him!"
"It might be against his religion!"
No, I didn't tell Bill. Neither did she. She told his sister, which was, let me assure you, infinitely worse.
Of course I didn't marry Bill Bailey, or anyone else.   Though the kilt thing isn't the reason why.

Why do we ladies enjoy seeing men in kilts? Hmmmmm . . .
      I suppose it coujld be the fact that many men think kilts are way too WILD, therefore, men in kilts must be wild! Or perhaps it is because the men in kilts bring thoughts of we ladies in beauteous long & flowing mid-evil times type gowns with lots of cleavage, & being saved by a knight in a wool tartan kilt. Or maybe we can't reveal such things to the menfolk, else they find out too much about what women really think.

Three Irish women walking home one night happen upon a kilt wearing Scotsman laying in the ditch, passed out. The first one takes her walking stick, lifts the kilt for a peek and proclaims, "Not my husband". The second ladie takes her walking stick and lifts the kilt, and says, "You're right"





The third lady then takes her walking stick, lifts the kilt and says, "In fact, he's not even from this village".

I still think utilikilts look shitty. I don't like the blouse of them, and the pockets just don't get it. Casual kilts with a traditional cut, and a sporran are the way to go.

But nothing beats the traditional wool.

No, it's usually worn with a sweaty, beer and curry stained tshirt or vest (singlet) and a luminous orange jacket.

OK, I get it. The black lace panties analogy helped...

I also understand the appeal of the formal kilt outfit, with tux jacket (or better yet, tails coat). But that's not what is usually worn in most situations we're talking about here, is it? (Pubs, festivals, etc.)

With kilts, the opportunity for a sneaky peach peek is always there.. With shorts, the most you're going to get is an eyeful of unsecured plums....

Why do most guys get all hot under the waistband about black lace panties rather than the Bridget Jones scary stomach hugging knickers?

When I'm at a dance (which is where I usually see guys in kilts) they do nice little quick spins and their kilts fly up and you can see a LOT more than you can with guys in shorts...Like the color of their underwear. But that can't be the whole reason. I think it's also partly because of the dressiness of it. Like guys look good in tuxedos, and here we are with tuxedo fancy but shows off their legs. In short, I don't know why kilts are so much sexier than shorts, the just are.

Many years ago I read this article in Forum....

This bloke started out a rover scout. And he went on holiday to Germany and him and his mates, all decided to wear nothing under their kilts - for a bit of a laugh. Sure enough a gang of young slightly inebriated, reasonably well endowed young boy scouts soon became a bit of a tourist attraction themselves, doing displays of formation flashing etc.

However a cautionary note. The narrator found the flashing addictive and now he spends his leisure hours hanging round Edinburgh's many flights of windy steps, introducing willy to every passer by.....

Early one morn, a lad wearing a kilt is lying passed out drunk in the ditch. On their usual walk, two little old ladies decide to have some fun. One takes a blue ribbon and ties it around his willie. Later he wakes and stands for a pee. Seeing the ribbon, he says, "Auch, Laddie, I dunno where you've been, but I see you've won first prize!"
