Rain ?

[CameronTaylor]

We have an Irish Faire coming up this weekend in LA and I was planning to wear my beligerently green Irish National kilt to but the weather is gonna be wet. How do you boys deal with rain and such ? I know wet jeans are no picnic, what about a wet kilt?


CT - what to do.

I have attended several events while Kilted and the rain was doing its thing. I just take an umbrella with me to keep my hair dry, the Kilt does fine.

As far as the Heavy Events go, we will be throwing rain or shine. And kilts like water, dont worry about those.

Vancouver rains all the time and I don't usually think twice about wearing in the rain. It the rain is really bad, I will bring along an umbrella or wear a goretex jacket.

I would think that if rain was a problem - Scotsmen would have abandoned the kilt long ago...

I work outdoors and the rain has never been a problem. Rain jackets, Inverness rain capes and umbrellas take of the problem rather well.

Yep, we Vancouverites know rain (29 days straight in January and most of February, wet snow/rain today). I was amazed at how my traditional handled in the rain, I never felt wet at all. The PV kilts dry fast, but because of the light weight and material they can cling to you a bit.

I-Man and the rest, I'll be there saturday. My not-so-local pub Liam's will have a booth there, my little drummer girl, my favorite fiddle player (who's never seen me in pants) and several great bands as well.
Guinness shirt and Irish (my goodness that's so GREEN !) National kilt, socks and boots.


CT - and a Murphy's in my non-broken hand.

Just pull up your socks, and wear a warm jacket.

...and bring a folding umbrella, just in case. ;)

Find a tent and drink some Murphy's, or Beamish.
