I see that nobody has posted ANYTHING on this forum in a couple of days, so here goes... Last night I went to our local St Andrew's Tartan Brawl ( not the official name, no,) and we were having cold weather. There was only a short walk from the car into the party venue and I could have managed, as my date did, with no coat at all, but 40 degrees F is a little chilly for me. My new velvet Montrose doublet is warm, as we all know any Montrose will be, but it is not THAT warm.

I own several coats that might have worked- a waxed cotton coat, a covert coat, a long wooly dress overcoat, puffy down jacket, etc. I am eagerly awaiting the delivery of a military cape ( not an Inverness cape, sadly ) but I opted to wear a duffel coat, which just seemed to be more appropriate than any of the others.

My question: When you need something over your kilt jacket, what do you wear? Can you show us a picture?

And if you said you wear a plaid, how do you manage driving a car, etc. with said plaid in place?

Am I the only one who thinks a regular dress overcoat somehow doesn't work with a kilt?
