Short Sleeves

[Blupiper]

I'm with Tobus on favoring the two-pocketed variety of short sleeve shirts for warm weather wear with a kilt, as in this photo taken a few years ago at the oh so muddy Grandfather Mountain games:



I tend to get them from Cabela's, and they just happen to be on sale now, if this is the type of thing you're looking for.

Great picture. Hello Kitty wellies, I love them. I think in North America and particularly the West, we see more extreme heat (with humidity in the East) than they do in those places where the traditional attire originated. I second Richard's contention about not wanting to be face-down from the heat. Polos and t-shirts are great for Games in August. Cotton, comfy and, as evidenced, you can represent your clan. My jury is still out on pipebands with waistcoats and short-sleeved shirts. Maybe if each came with a plastic pocket protector?

Absolutely wonderful highland "wellies"

Short-sleeved shirts in general are not "traditional" in the Highlands because it seldom gets warm enough there to warrant such. Those of us in warmer climes have to make reasonable changes to our wardrobe.

------------------

Exactly so, it is rarely warm enough to go without a jacket over here, so long sleeved shirts do give us an option to roll up the sleeves, should the temperature ever get into the 80's for an hour or so. Personally, I cannot see anything wrong with a polo shirt in non Scottish hot weather, although minus those dreadful logo things would help the look no end in my book.

Well since the two polo shirts I have with logos are "Red Thistle Dancers" and "UMS Tiger Band" (which I was with as a chaperone in the photo above) I'd have to disagree about that "dreadful" part
