What to wear for a railway holiday in Switzerland

Any kilt. But for a bulletproof kilt for travel would recommend a leather kilt from Robert Pel at RKilts.

Perfect for long sits, comfort in any kind of weather, and the cargo model has room for "stuff" without messing with a sporran.

You can go sightseeing anywhere in it. It WILL attract the ladies. And, you can go dancing in it.

I dont understand why everybody complains about there legs in a Kilt as compared to shorts..A pair of shorts shows just as much leg as a Kilt does. They BOTH go to the knees....What is the differance?

No difference at all. I used to wear shorts alot before discovering the Kilt. It was partly my liking for shorts that made the switch so easy.

I think I will wear my cheap kilt for travel. I take the point about the shorts and yes, whats the difference? We won't be going until around Aug/Sept 2012 so I intend to get a more expensive kilt before then. My surname is a sept of the Maclaren clan so I intend to get one in their tartan. Sorry Riverkilt but that would not work up here in Caithness, very conserative and a lot of the old farmers still carry shotguns.
Hey cessna152towser, anything to do with the Cessna airplane. I had a 1 hour flying lesson in a Cessna from Wick airport a few years back but could not afford to carry on. Pity, flying in a kilt would be good.

I too am a MacLaren and have recently taken delivery of a 8 yard kilt in MacLaren weathered colours. I also have tanks in ancient and modern. My favourites are the ancient and weathered colours. I find that the modern is rather bland for my tastes and I often loan it out to mates who wish to wear a kilt to a function.

Exactly the same in my case.

RON: I had seen you suggest that your RKilt was good in cool or cold temps, are you saying leather is good in heat as well? I thought it might get sticky against the skin. Any "care and maintenance" after a long day? (I don't own one so I am curious and see it relevant to the OPs inquiry)
