    leg warmers for hunting/hiking in a kilt in winter

    Check this out. I found this in Sportsman's Guide today and it looks like a great deal.

    5 pairs of new Swedish Wool Leg Warmers for $12.97.

    I have a few pairs of these. In Canada they are called holey socks.

    leggings...

    The Scottish regiments that served in the French & Indian Wars in the 1700's adapted the Native American wool legging as leg warmers and wore them under their kilts, very similar to this. There's a great drawing of a Black Watch other ranks in the F & I wearing these and looking very "frontier" with the kilt.

    Cheers,

    T.

    They look good. Hopefully, they'll still be selling when I get paid in 6 days.

    You KNOW the first thing that I thought of when I read "leg warmers".

    I pictured you sitting on a chair on a stage with a lone spotlight. Suddenly, a bucket of water drops on you.

    You're a MANIAC... maniac... on the floor. And you're kilting like you never kilted before!

    Must... erase... the... image... from... mind!!!
    Arise. Kill. Eat.
