Kilt in cold weather

[Andrew Breecher]

First of all, 40 F isn't even cold! It's not even freezing!

I've worn kilts in weather as cold as 0 F. Was I cold while I was outside? Yes. Would I have been cold no matter what I was wearing? Yes, unless I was geared up in Arctic wear. Everyone else was cold too, because they were wearing jeans, or dress trousers, or slacks, which are all pretty thin fabric. At least I had on a kilt, which was 4-5 layers of wool at any given place because of the pleats. I had on wool kilt hose. The only thing exposed was my knees, but I wasn't staying outside for long - no one was. If I had to live or work outdoors in 0 F I probably wouldn't wear a kilt, but for daily wear, of course I would!
