    You guys were right; it didn't turn out nearly as baddly as I had feared it might. And my class made the usual, "Oh, look, there's a guy in a skirt" remarks, and then got over it.

    This winter I was kilted in 13oz wool kilt in -20°C and was warmer than I'd have been in je@ns. I've never gotten used to these Canadian winters but in wool it is bearable. As McMurdo mentioned if it's snowing it's not that cold (only around freezing). When it's too cold to snow that's when you pull yer hose up, pull the coat tight and laugh at all those cotton panted popsicles because they're a lot colder than you.

    A great non-issue! Glad that you went through with it.

    My two standard replies when asked, "Aren't you cold?" are, "No, heat rises." and...if its a pretty lady..."No, I've got a heater under there."

    Got an excellent demonstration of heat rising at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. Was a very cold windy day, but I was warm in my Pittsburgh Kilts Forest MARPAT. When I went into the unheated restroom and raised the kilt apron to use the urinal all that heat spilled out - THEN I felt the chill until things reheated.

    Kilts really do accumulate heat in cold weather.
