Kilts are over rated!!!!

I was in the wind today with my UK original and it held well. It always does in the wind. No sporran.

Probably the best option is to wear a coat over the kilt. In the past I've opted to wear trousers in exceptionally high winds, then people keep asking where's the kilt today and I have to reply that I didn't think the weather today was suitable for it. As others have said the sporran at the front and the fell at the back ought to protect your ultimate modesty but if you wanted to feel more secure on a windy day there is always the option of making an under lining for your kilt out of an old T-shirt in a matching colour.

I don't think wearing kilts in wind is a good idea. It's not bad for me, just everyone else

I'm actually looking forward to seeing how my 22 oz Black Watch holds up the the gusts we get out here.

Kilts are garments, not costumes!
If you are ever going to wear a kilt naturally, without self consciousness, as pants are worn, you will have to regard them as a simple garment.
Kilts are over-rated by most of the guys who wear them and you can see it as they walk down the street. They are conscious of wearing a kilt.
Unless you hold some cultural aspect of the kilt, I think you should get used to wearing kilts as much as you are used to wearing pants. Let the rest of the world be impressed but wear your kilt naturally.
There is nothing more imressive than a guy walking naturally in a kilt. There is nothing more pompous than a guy strutting like a peacock.

Well, I wouldn't wear a SWK Thrifty in a hurricane.

Well, I would, but I would not be out in it. When the Navy thinks it is bad enough to move aircraft carriers away, I am not going outside.

Sorry, I didn't see your post, Bear. Welcome back, you've been missed here.

Yes: It is a simple garment, and to be worn the same as pants are worn (except way better).
Yes: Wear your kilt naturally and without being snothead.

However, For some guys, wearing a kilt for the first couple of weeks is like winning a 74' Hemi 'Cuda. You do settle into it, but some guys always get a rush even being in it and can't help but light up like a Christmas tree.
