"Long Johns" with a KILT ???Actually, I am SERIOUSE with this ????
Here is the reason.
I have a young friend ( 30s) that about a year ago started wearing KILTs as often as he can. (with the STRONG support of his charming wife)
Because he lives in an urban inviorement ( SEATTLE WA) Cold winter wear has not been a problem (Limited exposure to the elements - Short walks etc) (except going down the "DREADED FREEZER ISLE" )
BUT here is the situation he presented me with.
He and his wife are going to spend several days @ an Oktober Fest in a small town in the Cascade Mtn.s
A.Conditions:
1. His wife wants him to KILT UP
2. The temps will be below freezing a good share of the time.
3. Wind is also a factor
4. A good share of the time, they will be outside ( Strooling the streets while shopping, Attending Events, & WAITING in line for the "public Looos"etc.
B. KEEPING WARM - Top of the HOSE to upper Thighs
1. Upper body - NO problem.
2. Core area ( waist to upper thighs ( see below) Kilt will be one of 3 HEAVY Military regimental kilts.
3. Feet & calves - No Problem.
4. PROBLEM - Keeping the area from Top of Hose to the upper thighs WARM
Yes, I know the "THEORY" of the warm air being "trapped" by the kilt etc. BUT the "FACT of LIFE" (IMHO ) it does not always work this way
C. His wife's suggestion - Wear his "high tech" "long Johns" ( he has both black & navy" that he wears skiing) or Knitted "tights, Like she wears with skirts. or "panty hose".
WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ???
BTW, what about "tight fitting shorts (like lycra etc) ????
