In the late 70's I was in Norway with a camping van and new wife-about this time of year: so we were meeting snow and ice-and occasional wifely sense of humour failures.

In those days before I discovered sarongs for night wear-I wore a cotton night shirt-akin to Tshirt material-it came to just about knee level.

Worn under the kilt [a heavy military weight] it kept me perfectly warm--the only problem being the wifely,unfortunately recovered sense of hunmour.

The effect would I think be akin to the long T shirts mentioned in an earlier post-and if feeling the cold a very good idea.

Here in the UK enactors wear the long 'Jacobite' shirt under their kilts, and their appearence lead to correspondence asking-'if they were wearing underskirts'. One could also cite the supposedly accurate Rob Roy film with Liam Neelson. So if one adopted that line, and questions were asked, precedents can be quoted.

Here in southern England a sixteen ounce eight yard kilt seems to defy the worst of the weather.
