    Trews, call them TREWS! It's the only acceptable way of asking :winks:. There was this recent thread that might help. The warmest pants I own are a pair of German Army wool trousers I believe wool used would be in the 16oz or higher range. When I was married in Jamaica I wore an antique wool tux possibly in the 12 - 14oz range and was not too uncomfortable in it even during the midday sun (Red Stripe helped). If I recall, you're in the warmer climes. I wonder if PV would also be a viable option.

    To give you a ball park figure to work with the fabric used in "Dockers" is in the 11-12 oz. range. Blue Jean Denim is 12-14 oz. and most dress slacks you would find in Sears will be in the 7-9 oz range.

    Wool is a great insulator and has been used for men's trousers for a long time. But just as you had to get used to not having something on your legs with a kilt you will need a period of adjustments if you have never worn wool trousers.

    A tailor made pair of trousers is as much a joy to wear as a tailor made kilt. It is incredible how comfortable they can be. And having a pair that takes into account your "Lie" and having the seat at the right height and taking into account which of your legs is longer really makes all the difference in the look.

    I wear the kilt because:
    Swish + Swagger = Swoon.
