Don't worry, they're traditionally clad: knickers in this case being a reference to what our American cousins call knicker-bockers and we would refer to as breeches or breeks. I didn't realise we had such an outstanding collection of well-attired gentlemen in our midst. I'll get my Donegal tweed jacket out in celebration

I love the way this thread has turned from a question about not producing the right notes to men wearing breeches. Where else could you find such an erudite conversation?
