    Wind gusts: 76km/h Toronto

    Today in Toronto we have a wind warning with wind gusts of 76km/h, I therefore thought it was the perfect weather to go out in my Gordon Highlander. Although I love my 4 yard box pleated kilts from Matt, I don't think they would be a good choice for today, anyway here are some photos.

    Even in that wind, those pleats look solid and warm

    Looking good, did you manage to rescue Santa out of the tree?
    The third photo might be good for a caption competition, it almost looks as though you are p***ing into the bush, Glen.

    No Alex It wasnne me, I've a reputation to uphold don't you know, I just wanted pleats dancing in the wind shots. The Gordon is a very warm kilt, but even still I could feel the wind through it, it really is windy out there today.

    Hi Glen,

    You were only safe because the pleats were probably laid in inches, but the wind was metric.

    It was really bad here too. Man, those WPG kilts are tough!
    Great picture!

    Ouch! 100km/hr - what did that do to the wind chill factor?
