8 yard 16 oz. wool, I really don't think I would brave those temperatures in anything less than 16 oz. wool.

Standing outside the pub with the smokers.
I was the smoker! SWK heavyweight which is about 13oz 6 yards. Wool hose and wool commando sweater. Yes my knees were a bit chilly and had the occasional frigid gust up my kilt . I was without a coat and was not shivering the other smokers (jeans & jackets were as I would have been in jeans). I've never gotten used to Canadian winters if I were out longer than the ten or 15 minutes I would've donned a jacket. This winter I will be even warmer with a 16oz wool kilt and wool braemer w/ waistcoat (and hose pulled up). A (wool) kilt is the way to go in the cold. by the way -20C is -4F.
