    Lightbulb The thread that came back from the dead

    A week ago today I received my Freedom Kilt. (Ordered back in the summer when cold weather wasn't on my mind.) Buttoned it up and soon realized that the poly/cotton fabric didn't have the insulating qualities of my STW acrylic heavyweight. I slipped on a pair of boxer briefs, which helped, but just felt weird after going 6 months regimental. What to do? Then I recalled this old thread that Ron started. I was intrigued by the idea of the underkilt, but choked on the cost of the things. (See my signature at the bottom.) Too late to order before Xmas anyhoo...

    I made a trip to my local thrift store. Found a couple of, ahem, skirts that were constructed just like the J'Dez garments. One a toasty acrylic and the other a cotton- both priced at about $6. I cut them both to 21 inches in length and gave them a quick hem on the sewing machine. Not only am I now able to wear my new FK (a review will follow shortly), but all of my lightweight kilts just became available for winter wear too.

    OK, so now you know what I'm wearing under my kilt and why I've got a smile on my face rather than clenched, teeth. But nobody else needs to know, right? Cause its none of their darn buisiness.

    Have a cool Yule y'all,
    Vincent
