    No problem...just leave your sporran and don't wear a heavy kiltpin...best no kiltpin...when it's windy a heavy kilt.

    Only problem...when you hit a ball nobody is tracing the ball...they all look at your butt

    I have to confess I have never seen any point in golf - but I certainly see the point in having that kilt to wear. It is absolutely gorgeous, and the Isle of Skye tartan is high on my wish list.

    lucky at craps

    Well, the craps table at the Grand Casino in Tunica (Mississippi) just put me well within reach of my next kilt. It's got to be this tartan. Now, the decision; do I go for the Strome, or the 13 oz. Yes, I live in Georgia and the 16 would be a bit warm for summers. But from about now until April it should be quite wearable. Any of you southern kilties have a 16 oz.? If so, how much do you wear it as opposed to your others? How long is it's "season" really.

    Phil say his is a 16, but then he's in Northern Idaho. How warm is a 13 oz in a midewestern winter? OK, so I've only been wearing since August and need to know these things.

    Thanks

    Turpin...maybe ask Ron/Riverkilt...he has several 16ozers and he lives in Arizona.

    We had a hot summer with 30-35 degrees celsius (my 1st kilted summer) and my experience is...it makes no...or very little...difference if you wear 13 or 16 oz. Both pretty comfortable when you just walk around a bit.

    When you have several kilts...at least 1 16oz 8 yards kilt would be really nice...the look,the weight, the feel and the swing...magic! pure magic!

    You won't be disappointed...that's a promise
