I found it from the other side. Dessert rat that spent a winter on Puget Sound and another in upstate New York. What worked for winter wamth in the northern Arizona high plains dessert and New York were a bad joke in the Seattle humid cold. What I bought there will cook you in the dessert winters.
In Albuquerque NM now and I find my denim kilts warmer than my HW wool kilts.

Threadjack apologies: that's a very nice germanic kilt-related photo-search. There are multiple photos from the Mealt Falls view-point of Kilt Rock on the isle of Skye, in many different weather conditions.

And a few priceless ones of kilted folk in Germany: here and here...

All of the Kilt Rock pictures are great! Looks like the German tourists love the view too!

The desert south west (US) has specacular formations too, they tend to be more in the red, blue-green and tan color palatte.
I have come back to this picture three times now - LOL - the deep greens add a lot to eyes accustomed to a drier climate.

I'm hoping you meant desert rat.

Put me right off me feed, that did. . .

There is a dignified solution: http://www.nachs.info/celticmarketplace.shtml

Scroll down to the Regimental Validator - a small mirror on a telescoping handle.

When a lass askes "the question" just hand her the Regimental Validator and she can see for herself....IF you want her to find out.

Or, interested ladies in the kilt world could purchase their own.

What I can't figure out is every time I see a lady at a highland games wearing a kilt inspector shirt I stop and assume the TSA wanding position and wait to be inspected...it has yet to happen! The ladies in the kilt inspector shirts just giggle and move on. WHY don't they do their jobs?

My ONLY kilt inspection was years ago at a Pride Festival. A drunken college boy reached down and began to move his hand up my leg. He was so drunk that I just spun away and he crashed into the sidewalk.... I figured that was punishment enough.

Well placed mirrors on the shoes work much better.

....so I've heard.
