Winter's coming on in July here in Colorado-What to do

[Half Scot Half Pole]

THanks, Ratspike. Maybe leggings made out of a wool sweater with the arms just cut off.

And, yes, I can make a liner. I won't be doing much work outside, so I really don't need the give of pleats in the liner.

Sweater leg and arm warmers are great. If you've got a serger they're stupid easy to make, and only marginally less so zigzagging them on a regular machine. I have some tights that came from the women's sock section at Ross that I really like too, and they're a bit more practical than my really thick cycling tights for the cold that we have here.

For me a 22oz kilt from What Price Glory was the way to go, that plus an Arran sweater, good kilt hose and boots are the way to go. The day this photo was taken it was too warm for my jacket or bonnet.

I live in your neighborhood and have found my 6 yard Kingussie, 16 oz Lochcarron kilt keeps the heat trapped quite nicely as long as I am not doing calisthenics.

The kilt heat study posted earlier seems to speak to less yards for heat retention when moving.

Thanks, Rondo, I think I'll be able to squeak by enough $ for USA Kilts 5 yard 16 oz.,also looking at Burnett and Struths.

Anyone own 16 ounce 5 yard minimum for less than $300 they've found to be extra warm?

I wonder how Customs/ Import duties might affect the price of a kilt from Burnett and Struths?

Perhaps the B&S shipping charges include customs fees built in, but I've not been charged a duty specifically on my orders from them, although there's the usual little customs declaration form stuck to the packages.

Is that the WPG kilt weighing in at 22 ounce wool? I just looked again, they're all 22 ounce starting at $295 US plus shipping. Now, I paid Paul, what can I rob from Peter?

I think this might be the best bang for the buck, tanks bro.

Im a new kilt wearer on the front range. Ive been contemplating how to work out kilts in winter also. I was thinking if you are outdoors something like wool or synthetic undershorts could be useful. And you could remove em if you get too hot.

I lived in MS / LA most of my life before moving to CO. Cold and humid is certainly different than cold and dry.

I have found that generally my 16oz 9 yd. kilt, topped with a turtle neck shirt and a heavy pullover sweater, as well as heavy hose will do the trick. If its REALLY cold and blustery my ULTIMATE Inverness cape from Mr Antony, http://www.misterantony.com/ , does the trick. It even looks great with Western wear!
