What do men wear under their kilts?
We searched the Internet and found most sites had the information summed up by usakilts.com:
"As the old joke goes, 'nothing is worn, it's all in working order' . . . what you wear under your kilt is a personal decision . . . Things that you should factor into your decision are your environment and the people in your environment. If you're going over to Grandma's house and you know she has that low couch that you sit in, keep in mind that she may be getting more of a show than she wants. If it's going to be very windy outside and you want to keep your modesty, think about weather.
Bottom line . . . be smart. If you choose to go "regimental" (which is a kilted code word for no underwear), make sure you're not offending anyone in eyeshot of your 'goodies.' "
Rocky Roeger, an owner of USA Kilts & Celtic Traditions in Spring City, Penn., says there are no special boxers or briefs for the kilt wearer who chooses to don underwear.
