    I'd invest in a pair of wool kilt hose for the winter. It's definitely worth the $20 or so you pay for the warmth.

    The Kilt Store has them for $15.10 for the X-Marks discount. With your black and Black Watch (it is Black Watch, isn't it?) kilts the black or charcoal hose would look great. (Of course they go up to $29.36 with shipping....)

    Depending where you are in Maine you might be able to pop down to North Conway, NH, where the Scottish Lion shop is located, and you could pick up a pair of hose there too. They have black hose for $25.

    Andrew.

    I just asked my wife about the "cold" question... she remains absolutely certain that it's just a way of making conversation. My own belief is that there is a different frame of reference involved. For the most part, women's clothing tends to be made of lighter fabrics. I think they do feel the cold and think men in kilts should as well. Also, most women have no concept of the massive amount of fabric that's folded into a mans kilt. To them it's just another skirt. I'm convinced that the question is generally asked innocently. My answer is, "Not really, but I'm glad I'm wearing wool".

    My wife said we'll see how comfortable I am in kilts come January and February. My respose was that, wrapped in 8 yards of wool, how could I be cold? She just grined and said "Updrafts".
