A chilly Alaskan walk...

I have purchased those and intend to commit sacrilege by sewing in a zipper on the inside of the leg and then fitting them with the buttons. I do think they'd work very well with the kilt. I made myself a pair of Native-style (Eastern Woodlands) leggings to use with my kilt and they work wonders!

I'd purchase them if I didn't have to sew the buttons on myself. But alas, I'm not set up to even hand make the things I want.

Coming from a COMPLETE newbie at sewing, hand-sewing isn't that difficult if you have some time.

Oh, I have plenty of time and knowhow, especially for buttons, just not the funds to buy the gaiters and extra materials needed.

I rather fancy those Gaiters.... just nothing to do with kilts or cold weather wear!

Have a great Christmas- and I like the grey jacket for church

If I recall, there is historic evidence that indicates that kilted regiments did indeed adopt those gaiters or Native-styled leggings for use in North America. And I can tell you that they do keep the legs nice-and-warm so they are more appropriate for colder weather than bare legs.

a bit useless in southern California but maybe in my visits to the north in the spring.
