Wearing a wool kilt when it's hot.

Would that be a southern breeze?

I've never had a problem with wool kilts on a hot day. (Mid summer temperatures in southern Ontario can push into the upper 80's.) I find that there is enough natural circulation to stay cool. If the waist band gets moist from sweat, I fan the kilt out on the bed for an hour or two before hanging it up. I would much rather wear a heavyweight kilt on a hot day the blue jeans.

Blue jeans are by far the worst thing to wear in summer heat. I hate them and now wear them only when absolutely necessary. The style of shorts made for men these days are horrible too. I bought a pair a couple of years ago... wore them once, looked bad - felt worse, and eventually threw them in the trash.

Undergarments... Isn't that what people used to wear in the olden days when they wore bifurcated garments?

It's gettin warm don't forget the Body Glide guys!

LOL. Good stuff. My girl uses bodyglide for working out and long runs and I use it for crusing in the kilt and knocking down cold ones. Brilliant. Who says life is unfair.

I'm going to be wearing wool kilts at the Potomac Highland games in mid June. Temperatures were in low to mid 90s last year with high humidity. If my tank arrives by then I'll wear it one day, if not, I'll wear my Stillwater heavyweight in shadow tartan and a Casual Macneil wool kilt the other.

I find my kilts quite cooling in the hot weather, better than shorts and underpants. Most days there is a little breeze and it is quite refreshing. I do find a problem with hose, so in the summer I go sockless (as I do if wearing shorts). Teva sandals for walking anywhere. Birks for just everyday stuff.

I hate to buck the trend, but I can't be the only person in the world who actually finds wearing clothing cooler than not wearing clothing can I??
What I mean is, that I find clothing will help to "wick" away persperation thus making me feel cooler.
