    Puffer, you are correcdt, the Hudson Bay Company blanket coats certainly are warm. When paired with a good wool sweater you can work outside in almost any temperature. I'm not certain how one would look with a kilt, but it would definately be an interesting look.

    The Hudson Bay Company blanket coats are great with kilts. I have one that I bought (I think it was from Dixie Gun Works) around 12 years ago.

    Actualy, IMHO, they look GREAT with a kilt.
    i. Long style ( bottom of calf to ankle, hides the kilt, but BOY is it WARM. !!
    2. Shorter style ( aka Mackinaw = GREAT sim. to tis look with my blanket shirt, BUT warmer.

    Puffer, I like the green blanket shirt/coat in your pic. Is that one from Empire, mentioned by Brad?
