Kilted in the snow down south

[creativeaccents]

Recently, I have sent canvas kilts to a couple up in Yellowknife in northern Canada and a Black Watch to a gentleman in Barrow, Alaska. From my living once up in Wisconsin I think that the people in such climates just become acclimated and learn to make the best of it. Actually, they seemed a lot more geared to the outdoors in the winter than people here in the south. As for the level of comfort, I agree with some recent postings that with a warm hat and coat one can stay plenty warm with a kilt in the winter. Surely Scotland isn't balmy like the photos recently posted from Hawaii.

Indeed. Reminds me of a time in the 80's I went to visit a friend of mine in So Cal right after new years. I just left an area (NW Washington) that was knee deep in snow & in the 20's and stepped off the plane in LAX where it was 65 (@ 12:am).
I started stripping off my leather m/c jacket & flannel shirt to my tee!
Should've seen the looks from my friend & everyone else who were walking around with sweaters etc on because it was "cold"

Your right though about becoming acclimated. At my old house we had to go around the house to get to the laundry room, so I've worn a kilt more than once outside after the Fraser Valley winds blow thru here. It does get a wee bit cold, but I more or less get used to it. Of course I would also go out there in the middle of winter in cammo shorts & barefoot too!

Ah...the great Southern Grocery Store Rush! Even here in the NC mountains the threat of snow sends everyone to the grocery. I've often wondered what they do with all that bread and milk!

Well, it looks as though the forecasters really blew it! The GREAT BLIZZARD of '08 immediately simmered down here north of Atlanta after the first few flakes. Cold tonight, but apparently the moisture missed us. But, in going to the grocery I found a convert who has now contacted me by email for the purchase of his first kilt via a personal delivery! At least that will be ONE other local around these parts to join us.

Ah...the great Southern Grocery Store Rush! ...I've often wondered what they do with all that bread and milk!

When it happens here, we've decided that everyone in Columbia is having milk toast for breakfast! NO snow here this week, but it's right cold out. Wool hose are in order.

I've seen that same rush in Washington DC, Viriginia, and Maryland. People fighting over the last loaves of bread.

IF there is a connection between the cold and the sudden rush of kilt orders of late, I AM HOPING FOR MORE SNOW! Maybe it's just people being stranded inside and doing some dreaming on the internet, but there is nothing wrong with the prospect of a new kilt to brighten a day. For myself, I's eagerly anticipating a new dagger sheath to be hung below the kilt belt and our good friend up in Jefferson, GA at Oconee Leather has been MIGHTY helpful! Now back to shipping! I love to tell the story, of kilts in all their glory, Tis sure an old, old story........!!!!!!! Sung to whatever tune you prefer,

They do the same thing here in St. Louis and I always wonder the same thing.
