That's no rumour.
I do wear kilts. I dinnae wear the troosers no more.
I am old, and I live in the South. And I hate the feeling of hot swampy nuts. Me wee boyos have been freed. The feeling of a cool and gentle breeze down below to keep everything fresh and aired out is most welcomed. Male anatomy was never meant to be bound up in such a fashion as it is with troosers.
I have been most honoured, adopted into a clan. I have mine own tartan. (Although I wear many) I also wear solid coloured kilts. Of many different materials. Canvas army duc is very very nice to wear on hot summer days. The Black Watch in WWII wore kilts made in this manner while serving in the desert. The breeze blows through the fabric. It's very nice. The ability to wic away moisture allows for rapid cooling around the main body core, working a bit like air conditioning. The rapid water evaporation and airflow up into and through the kilt actually drops the temperature by several degrees. The pleating and apron designs actually aid this process, making it a very comfortable garmet. In winter wear, 13 to 22 ounce wool will keep you plenty warm, and because of how air pressure works, the warm air trapped inside of the kilt, and held in the pleats and apron will actually keep the cold air out for the most part, and will actually keep you a good deal warmer than pants would. Kilts work like mittens do for the fingers. Core body temperature is what determines if you feel hot or cold.
I have kilts made in various cammo prints, including Marpat. Some of you will know what that is, others will not. Quick, go Google. I am working on getting a kilt made in black leather for formal affairs. I have all sorts of kilts. Four yard casual day kilts, six yard philabeg kilts, or the little kilt as it is called, and I have full blown eight to nine yard traditional tank kilts. Kilts come in all manner of fabrics, materials, and designs.
Most of my kilts have a particular special feature that make them stand out. On the inner apron, tucked away where nobody can see, and you would never be able to tell, but still available for quick access, is a built in holster for a gun. And in some, hidden in the pleating are quick access pockets designed to hold other weaponry.
Kilts are not for formal dressy events. They were meant to be every day garmets. Kilts are clothing, not costumes. You don't have to be Scots to wear a kilt. You don't have to be white to wear a kilt. Anybody can wear a kilt any time, for any reason they should so desire.

Kilts can be a part of any culture, for any race. But if you choose to wear a tartan, know the history, the meaning, and the significance of said tartan, and show the utmost respect for said tartan. If you wear it and go out and act like a jackass, there are people out there bound to take offense and kick your ass. And these are people that throw telephone poles, kegs, the occasional human being, and 50 pound hammers for sport. Some tartans you shouldn't wear to some events. For example. Wearing a Black Watch tartan kilt into an Irish Pub is bound to get your sorry ass kicked. Want to know why? Go study your history. It's incredibly offensive. You should never ever wear a Campbell tartan to any clan MacDonald function or event, and the reverse is true as well. Once again, study your history.
Or save your self some time. Wear solid colours. Very nice and dressy.
It takes a real man to wear a kilt and stand out. Women will fall all over you, usually asking you questions about your underpants or lack thereof. Smaller, men less certain of themselves, will question you and your sexuality. People will hassle you out of ignorance.
Your reward is standing over an air conditioner vent on a hot day.
As for the underpants bit, everybody knows what should be under there. Nothing. Going regimental isn't about being perverted or letting it all hang out. Underwear can actually effect the proper hang and drape of the kilt, causing it to catch and bunch on the underwear fabric. Plus, wearing a properly made and fitted kilt, a REAL kilt and not some Catholic school girl skirt they pawn off to the ignorant, it will ride around your belly button or just slightly above, and when you walk the sides will swing and swoosh, and will press downward on your hips. If you are wearing undergarments with a properly constructed REAL kilt, the kilt will actually push your underpants down, possibly causing them to fall down around your ankles at the wrong time. There are means to prevent this, like pinning your drawers to your undershirt. But all that bunched fabric around your waist screws up the air flow and is mighty uncomfortable. In short, kilts were never designed with underpants in mind.
In countries where men wear skirted garmets, testicular cancer and prostate cancer are virtually unheard of in the skirted masses. Something to think about.

All alone, or in twos,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.
And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad buggers wall.
"Isn't this where...."
