Two Unaticipated Advantages of Kilts
I'm still relatively new to this, and have discovered a couple of advantages of wearing a kilt which I didn't expect. The first is that with just a quick shake of the leg you get a bellows affect, which helps to ventilate and cool (I always overheat in a tee shirt, dress shirt, tie and jacket. Couldn't do anything about it before).
The second (and best) thing is that when I put my arm around my wife and she rests her hand on my knee, it's really on my knee.

Also quite warm when the weather starts to turn, depending on what you are wearing, what weight, and whether you are wearing wool hose or not.
People have asked me a few times whether I am cold or not...
my answer: "Do I look cold?"
Medium or heavyweight wool rocks when the mercury dips!

I thought of another one (which may have been done already, but I just thought of it).
You can never get caught with your pants down!!
