That might be OK for you Ron, but a pasty white guy like me would really pay the price for running around the desert topless.

This is my usual warm weather kilt wear:

A nice fitted polo does the trick. Keeps me looking respectable, but cool enough for me! Sometimes I will also wear a dress shirt with rolled sleeves and a tweed waistcoat. The shoes are grey nubuck brogues from Clarks.

(As an aside, I kick my self for getting tartan red hose instead of claret)

This brings to mind a funeral I piped at a few years ago.

The mourners gathered around the grave. There was a big cardboard box, from which people began pulling Aloha shirts and putting them on. As it happened, I had just returned from Maui and I had a new Aloha shirt in my car, so I went back to my car and put it on. When in Rome!

Anyhow for me it's checked shirts for hot weather kiltwearing. The t-shirt look and golf shirt look and military shirt look aren't for me.

Wore a loud aloha shirt to my little brother's funeral...no kilt though. Will be at the Flagstaff games this coming weekend in a white on white aloha shirt with dress Gordon kilt...no hose, sandals. Gotta love "culture clash"

I have been wondering the exact same thing. With me being in Hawaii I don't have any call for cold weather gear, so mine will all be warm and hot weather.

Even though I am in Hawaii, I just could not bring myself to wear an Aloha shirt with a kilt, I just couldn't do it, lol.

Of course, its a joke because there's very little danger of it every happening, as my mid-section is currently more of a "Keg"!

& No offense to anyone, but my point is, most of us (at least most of us in North America) probably need to keep our shirts ON......

It can be done. I lost 6 stone in 10 months. If you are intereste, I'll tell you how I did it. 22 to 16 stone.

I have collected a lot of shirts through the years that still fit. So I swap out the winter closet for the summer closet in the spring and back again in the fall. The summer closet has a few shirts as in post #5. For kilts it is slanted toward polo shirts. The majority are button up short sleeve shirts for work. I have a number of t-shirts with pockets in various colors but I normally don't wear them with kilts. The exception are those that have writing on them that is kilt related.

Would like to know about that myself.

I wore an Hawaiian style shirt with my kilt for a ceilidh when I first started wearing the kilt and didn't have any jackets. A woman told me to quit it; so, I did.
