My First Kilt - Stillwater Standard Blackwatch

SportKilts.com sells a great line of acrylic kilt hose that come in a wide variety of colors. I love them during the summer because they are much cooler than wool kilt hose. But right now I'm shifting into wool mode since winter is here.

I think this has been posted before (and by me I think!), but a great answer to cold weather and SK hose (which are very affordable, or any lighter hose) is to wear a pair of dress socks (hopefully long) underneath them, preferably wool or a wool blend, but any dress sock adds that extra bit of warmth without the thickness. I find that if I do that, I can actually wear the real hose for a second day, and just wash the under-hose that are next to the foot.

Very interesting idea. I'll have to try that. It's gotta be less expensive than my wool hose from HR.

That's a great idea. One of those, "Duh! Why didn't I think of that!"

Great idea, KCW!

Actually, silk dress socks would be very warm when worn under another pair. Ever worn silk long johns? Very light and warm, but allow quick cooling off when you remove the layers above them.
