    Don't fall victim to that, Will! It was 28 here too. I walked around in the cold and snow (6 degrees F in the Whites) earlier this week. You've got three layers of material around your waist (because of the pleats), and if you wear kilt hose, you've got wool up to your knees. You'll be wearing more than most people who are wearing trousers.

    Last winter, when it got down to -15F or so for the month of January, I wore a kilt every day, including the "flimsier" Utilikilt. Sure it's cold, but so are trousers. Before you stow the kilt for the winter, wear it outside a few times. There will be a shock at first because you'll feel the breeze on your knees and thighs. Then you'll notice that, although you can feel it, it isn't actually uncomfortable or unpleasant. I'd much rather have the breeze blowing between my knees than be cooped up in trousers.

    Getting cold here in California as well, down to 55f this morning.

    It really is funny how we can take what others have said personaly, when in fact they hadn't even thought about us prior to making the comment.

    Sorry 'bout the cold joke.

    Spot on, Ham!
    There's nothing more invigorating than an icy blast up your pleats.
    And, of course,
    Kilts are garments, not costumes!
