Kilts and cold weather
With Remembrance day fast approaching I was wondering if any of you have advice on keeping warm in a kilt. I live in central Alberta and the temperature can get as low as -25C to -30C. I plan on wearing my merino hose with my heaviest kilt and sweater but I will be outside during part of the ceremony. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Undershirts, under-socks, and why no jacket?

I wear a long overcoat out of doors in the winter...

Make yerself some "kilt-johns"!
The bottom half of wool long-johns, cut off above the knees. That will keep your "core" warm ;0)
waulk softly and carry a big schtick

Well, maybe not such a good idea

Collin, although that is a delightful and topical suggestion, drinking alcohol, even a 50 year old scotch, will actually hurt your chances for staying warm in the cold weather. You feel warmer because it causes the blood vessels in your skin to dilate, but you really aren't getting warmer. Actually, it lowers your core body temperature.
