Here in Blighty the Winter still has its icy grip on us. That does not stop me from wearing the kilt though. Today I had to walk into town to register for something at our library. I wore my 16oz/8yard grey kilt together with an ex army jumper and a short wind proof jacket. I was toasty!

On the way home I was stopped by a fellow who asked if I was cold, especially with the wind swirling. I told him that I was perfectly warm, more so that if I wore trousers. He responded that he supposed it was wool and its what you get used to. I replied that it couln't be beat and we wished each other farewell.


Now this is not the first time that this question has been asked, mainly by men. It would seem that Joe Public has this odd idea that kilts must be draughty. Now this is odder still when you think about the geographical origin of kilts. Not exactly the hottest part of Britain?

Anyone else been asked this?
