First Frost - 16 oz season again !
With the wind blowing from the north today and clearing skies it looks like we will have our first frost here in Scotland tonight. Crisp and cold air when I stepped out of court in my heavyweight black kilt and jacket into the late afternoon twilight, yet I felt warm wearing my heavyweight kilt as I walked back to the car and drove home stopping in at the post office, the petrol station and then the supermarket for the week's groceries on the way home. Yes its 16oz kilt season again.

It has not got cold enough here to worry about it, but it does. I haven't given the whole weight thing much thought until you mentioned it. Guess I need to do that.

We've had our first snow already in Salt Lake City (didn't stick).
But I know what you mean!! I'm digging around trying to find my MacGregor muffler 
I just wish I had a 16 oz kilt. I've only got lightweights!
It don't mean a thing, if you aint got that swing!!

I've got a MATT NEWSOME 4yard Box Pleat
http://kilts.albanach.org/
in one of House of Edgar's Regimental Weight (18oz) Tartans
http://www.houseofedgar.com/acatalog/Tartans.html
that I wore all winter long, at work and home.
Doubleplusgood!
If you cant afford 8yds of 16oz, consider that HoE's 18oz tartans are doublewide so your cost is 2yds+Matt's labor+shipping!

In the Buffalo area we got our first snowfall two weeks ago (you might have seen it on the news :rolleyes: ) - wore my self-made 10 oz cotton duck.
A week later I was down in northwest Pennsylvania - the temperatures that day went from 28-55º F (-2 to 13º C). I wore my hemp RKilt, and was comfortable the whole day.
I will be be bringing wool back into the rotation shortly, though.
I am easily moved for sympathy for dogs, far more so than for humans, because dogs do not understand. There is no way to explain that you will return, that the vet will make it all better, that they cannot go shooting today because that is not what today is about. They cannot work out that their misery is finite and will some time end, and so their misery is magnified.
