Practicality of the kilt

Isn't wool wonderful? In the rain there is nothing like it.

Yeah. Just ask a sheep!

Of course, this brings back a memory from my first year at university. A friend and I were walking back from the dining commons and chance shower came by. A girl in front of us started to run and yelled into her cell phone, "I have to get inside! I'm wearing wool!"

I remain as confused as I was on that day.

Miniature sheep are the ones who got caught in the rain storms....lol

You should NEVER blow dry a sheep. (Unless you are making kilts for the kiddies.)

Isn't that amazing, Highland dress is suited to Highland conditions! (BIG grin).

Yes, but fortunately to a lot of other conditions as well.

Ok, you just lost me. Is this similar to the "fly plaid", or something else entirely?

Since I'm up too, here's a link to pics of several McMurdo posted. Not a fly plaid. http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/s...49&postcount=1

Caught that thread, RIGHT after posting my question...

Seems that Anne's idea of using cords would work fairly well for keeping it in place. However, there's not much you'll be able to do about looking like you have a blanket thrown over your shoulder...
