1 - Ok, wool can be a problem - I get rashes and sneezes from wool blankets - at least I did in the Forces.
2 - Yes, wearing full regalia can be hot (my uncle's best man collapsed due to the event taking place on a damn hot day in the hotel's conservatory in Troon), but even at a formal wedding function, you are allowed to unbutton or remove your jacket!
3 - I can testify that I've never known anyone who didin't enjoy wearing the kilt, and when I had sun burn a number of weeks ago, it was the ONLY comfortable thing I could wear.
4 - Yes it can be embarrassing about the amount of attention wearing a kilt can create. But only for the non-kilted guys who can't get any attention from the lassies!
As soon as my registration is complete, I will be politely leaving a comment about how I disagree with him.
