Kilts and cold weather

[Jimmy the Celt]

Perhaps you can modify a pair of thermals so you have only the leg left--that would still be regimental.

But . . . there has to be some extra long hose / socks available somewhere that will go over the knee. Here in SoCal though, it rarely gets cold enough to warrant such measures. So far, I have found a kilt and hose to be sufficient.

Long Johns hardly solve the question asked about climate and regimentality

The photo was only meant to show how some folks deal with cold weather while kilted.

The rest of my post assured flyingscotsman that, even in the coldest regions of Arizona (Flagstaff & the White Mountains), Arizona's climate is year-round regimental friendly!

For extra long socks try www.sock_dreams.com. They do have some that are ok, like the marled socks.

Skiing is not an activity I would do kilted myself after my *** over tip experiences in Norway a few years ago!

Well I didn't want to call them leg warmers, lol. I doubt I'll ever have need of such things meself.

For the legs, I suggest some thick wook kilt hose. Should work well. As for skiing in a kilt...I find that (especially at speeds I like to ski), a kilt becomes little more than a parachute trailing behind you, leaving your bits and pieces exposed to the freezing wind, snow, and stray ski pole!

I'm not even going into the perils of wiping out while skiing regimental at any speed in a kilt...bad bad bad things...

Glad I don't ski then But then, I was born deficient of the sports gene.

Perhaps you could sew a small pocket on the inside of your apron about the area where your boys hang, and then drop one of those small air activated hand warmers in there. Another carefully stitched between pleates in the back and you'll have both ends covered.

BTW- Attention kilt makers- You saw it here first- I want my cut.

Arrgh, my head! There are SOME things better left to the imagination.
