    How does it wear in the heat? How does it handle the wind?

    In the heat (I'm familiar with heat being in New Mexico) it is just like wearing a pair of shorts (temperature that is.) Not hot what-so-ever (no hotter than anything else anyway!) In the wind, it stays down and I've never had even a fear of it blowing up. It's a substantial garment being that it's Strome weight wool. New Mexico is pretty windy at times, so this has been tried and proven with this one already.

    I can also attest to what Bradley has just shared. I just spent the week in Albuquerque in a 4 yard box pleat in some very windy and hot times this week. (mid to upper 90's during the day and gusts to 40mph with no issues)

That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it." anon

    Great looking kilt and I love the tartan. I am sure the colors will look just right in New Mexico.
