Kilted at 1 am

[Atticus]

So it was a typical December New England evening about 10:30 pm and 30 degrees outside. My Sister-in-Law and her husband and kids were getting ready for bed. I just had to put together the rubbermaid shed I bought from Sears. It was a 5' x 6' x 6' shed. I figured it would take me 30 minutes or so...

Well after an hour and a half I got a little cold so I came in to get a sweatshirt. I had been in my MacMillan Philaberg and a tee shirt.

Another hour and the shed was finished. It was 1 am and I was banging and smashing this thing and suddenly I thought, "Boy it sure is quiet out here". Well I never realized how late it was. I now live in a city neighborhood. My neighbors must have thought me a freak in below freezing temps in my kilt at 1 am. Funny my hands didn't even get cold.

Thanks Rocky and Kelly. The kilt Rocks at all hours and temps!

Nice to see a man focussed on his work, good quality!

That's funny! Kilts hold up pretty well in cold conditions...

Last FEBRUARY, Dropkick Murphy's was playing down in Philly. The members of Dicey Riley (local Irish band) and a few of my friends and customers decided we were going to tailgate, kilted. Keep in mind... middle of february in the city with nothing but concrete and snow... no heat. After about 2 1/2 hours of drinking and debauchery in the Electric Factory parking lot, we decided to go in.

Tomorrow will be a fair test of a kilt in the cold here. We're looking at temps of about 6 degrees F with windchill around -15F earlier in the afternoon.So far so good into the low 20s with the windchill around 0 when I walk over to meet my wife and walk her home from work.

As long as you have a warm top (sweater or jacket and such) and a pair of good wool hose, you should be ok...
