How to keep yourself Dry

[Jock Scot]

Ahem, the wool kilt hails from Scotland which is rather well known for rain! Rain/wet(hot water is not good!) will not harm a wool kilt in any way. Yes, an Inverness cape is traditional and very effective, particularly so, when used in conjunction with a good umbrella.

Exactly,

remember, it's wool after all. So, as long as it's not a tropical downpour, you should be ok. It's not the water that destroys wool when washing... it's heat and agitation...

So,

no salsa dancing in a monsoon... and you should be fine.

Oh, and if you do find a nice over-coat. make sure it's not too long (if it's not possible to see a small amount of kilt below the bottom of the coat, people will think you are a flasher!

Cheers,

Michael

Wool is known as a premiere fabric for getting wet while still keeping you warm. Aside from highland farmers, think of hundreds of years of sailors wearing wool coats in every kind of wet.
