    John,

    They're outside your price and time frame requirements, but you can't beat the warmth from a leather kilt. Utilikilt has black leather kilts, Robert at RKilts has many colors of leather kilt.

    I have a UK brown leather and an RKilt saffron leather and love them both. Keep me toasty in the foulest weather. Worth saving for next winter if warmth is the key requirement.

    Well, I'm waiting a 16oz wool kilt from ScottishKilts.net. We'll see how it works out when the temp gets around -22F! I might think about using boxers under it...

    Yep Ackwell, -22F is a bit colder than it gets here.

    When we have a major inversion settle-in it's not uncommon to drop to as much as -5F for days to weeks at a time and once in a while it will even get lower. Plus the wind is almost always blowing at my house (mountains act as a wind tunnel) and the wind chill has got low enough to freeze my trucks gas lines a few times.

    I think I've talked myself into the military style kilt. Between the extra heavy weight & high rise I think it will keep me toasty.

    I've been looking at WPGs kilts for some time.They seem a bit much for the winters here in north GA.I may change my mind after winter sets in.This is my first winter kilted and I may give in and buy one.

    If anyone has anything to add about kilt liners,start another thread.Lets not hijack this one.Thanks.

    WPGs kilts are fine at temps in the 40s and colder. A bit warm when it climbs into the upper 50s. I've been wearing mine quite a bit and it's great.
