You have to love wearing the kilt. In the winter I constantly get asked, "Aren't you cold in that?" while in the summer it's, "Aren't you hot in that?" It seems people can't decide if they think all that wool should keep me warm or cool...

In any case, my warmest kilt is actually a 4 yarder. It's made from ultra-heavy, nearly bullet proof Harris Tweed, woven by Marion Campbell. This was taken on a chilly day last winter.


My heaviest Harris tweed kilt, a Harris tweed jacket and waistcoat, my thickest hose, and a super thick knit wool bonnet. I was quite warm, and if I remember right, that morning is was in the teens. If it had been colder I could have always added an Inverness cape or a plaide. Of course much colder and I just would have stayed indoors!
