historical kilt wearing question...

[davedove]

but do kilts keep one warm enough in winter

I have found that the kilt is quite warm in the winter, especially a heavier weight kilt with good hose. The only thing I have noticed was when I was standing still and a breeze was blowing. Then, my knees would get a bit chilly, but that stopped as soon as I started moving.

Whenever I'm asked if I'm cold I usually just point out I'm wearing enough wool to knit a sheep so how could I possibly be cold. The fact is that unless the temps are below 20F with a strong wind I'm just not cold. You just wear a hat, keep the upper body, hands and feet warm and you'll be comfortable.
