    Occured to me that the only two times I recall the wind causing exposure were when I was wearing Utilikilts.

    Once from an unexpected grate in the sidewalk, the blast blew the entire kilt up. Entire hem of the kilt was over my head. But like Bradley and Marilyn could happen with any kilt.

    Other time was rafting the river, standing in the bow attempting to dry the wet UK survival I'd been wading in. The canyon winds did a snake dance on me and flipped the back high just as a guy in the back of the raft was taking a scenic picture. He got a scenic picture all right!

    Worse, it was an AA raft trip and I still haven't heard the end of it. He gave me a copy of the pic and it ain't pretty what's under there. Lost the pic in my last hard drive crash. No matter, no way I could post it here.

    And I certainly agree with Matt, the only way to get used to kilts in the wind is to wear kilts in the wind and get used to it.

    But come on guys...there have to be more kilts in the wind pics out there...Ain't nothing prettier than pleats dancing in the wind...

    These great pics make me want to break out into song:

    How 'bout this breeze? Had to position myself into the wind so the pipes wouldn't be blown from my shoulder.

    The squall line behind me was on us within five minutes of this photo. Before that abundant sunshine.

    Thankfully, no pictures (and you'll be glad, too)...but one night about two weeks ago, we had +50 MPH winds...very strong winds...and so I thought to myself, Experimentation time! So, I threw on my kilt and ran outside. It didn't do too much - even though my kilt is a lightweight one - until I turned to walk back in...that's when the wind caught the pleats just right and blew it striaght up. If anyone was around, they would have learned the answer to "the question."

    And great photo, TB. Best laugh I've had all day.

    Ham,

    That sir, is a beautiful picture. That should be on the kiltmaker's website if they have one.

    There is sooooo much more to the beauty of kilts than hanging with perfectly aligned pleats. Kilts look so beautiful dancing in the wind!

    It is one of Kinloch Anderson's 'Breacans', Ron - a lightweight casual kilt in their corporate tartan. The Kollection contains four of those Breacans - the other three being: The Tartan Army tartan, their own corporate Hunting tartan and the City of Edinburgh tartan.

    Take care,
    Ham.

    No Jay. Generally, I do not wear the sporran when dressed casually - unless I have no other pockets.

    Take care,
