    To amend to the fact that my Flower of Scotland kilt is very hot... it's way hotter than my 13oz kilt.

    It is a military height, so it rises about 2" higher than my other kilts. It's 16oz wool and 8 yards (the pleats are deep and there are plenty of them... about 5/8th" per pleat).

    My other kilts are closer to 3/4" per pleat, 7 yards, 13oz wool.

    I just ordered my Lamont Modern 16oz, 8yd about a month ago... but only because the 16oz was cheaper than the 13oz they had on Scotweb.

    George, I wonder if the "authentic" look of the kilt might not help to draw the crowds. But, then, I haven't heard you play!

    But you have that tropical look of kiltwearing nailed down.

    My only crowd pictures are at a Highland Games - not quite on topic.

    Heat notwithstanding, thanks for sharing the pic and the adventure. There really is something about the kilt that folks find irresistible.
