    And if you wear wool kilt hose too you should be nice an toasty at the temperatures you mention.

    Agreed. All my kilts are 11 ounce traditional kilts and they keep me warm in Seattle winters (between 30F and 50F). The choice of kilt hose will make quite a bit of difference.

    You could go with a solid color wool kilt. Freedom kilts can put slash pockets on a kilt for you also.

    USA Kilts has solid color wool on their web site
    http://www.usakilts.com/solid_5yarder.php

    Freedom kilts doesn't show solid color wool but you might drop Steve an email and see if he can get the color you want.

    And what about these?http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/GREY-BLUE-TWEE...QQcmdZViewItem
    (Probably made of "imported" or rest tweed and shipping seems inflated but...)

    Non-traditional with pockets?
    Freedom Kilts (mentioned above), RKilts (I wore my hemp RKilt in -10C last winter, not including wind chill), make your own (lined?) Xkilt ...

    I would recommend against Utilikilts - winter winds whip right under that half apron to places you don't want wind chill.
