Have to go with my wool tank despite today's weather.

The highest recorded temperature in Scotland was just a wee tad over 92 F some 10 years ago. At a guess, 80 F would be, probably, about our normal high, but I very much doubt that we would ever have more than 20/25 days of that in a year.

WEAR IT. It can handle all that, and more!

I was thinking the very same thing.

The hottest so far, that I've worn wool, was probably last year's games in Livonia Michigan. I wore my 8yd 16oz Buchanan Balmoral. It was about 90 degrees Fahrenheit as I recall, and humid. (Hence the water bottle, and brow-wiping cloth, on my belt.) Being wool made no difference... it breathed well.

Here in Georgia you wear what you like and you sweat like the devil while you have it on. No really I will not do the wool kilts until late fall, winter and early spring due to the temps here. But I have to agree that the wool kilts are much nicer.

By the way Ken, where did you find that stick? It is beautiful.

I find that 100% pure new wool kilts (6-8 yard tanks) work well in any kind of weather year round. However, I generally prefer not to wear Highland dress in blistering temps (90 F +), or anything but a swimsuit for that matter!

I'm not an 'All wool, all the time' guy even but I am an avid 'Kilted Friday' guy. I wear heavy, medium & light wool as well as PV. All handle the hour+ each way to work and 8 hours on my butt at the desk, at the end of the day the heavy and medium look great and are ready for a night out on the town while the light wool and PV would like a little TLC.
