i have to admit that although i really tried to wear my kilts in winter it is to cold for me. when i m outside i m really exposed cause i ve no car. with car it s another story, but so i ve to get by bus, tramway or metro with many ways in the streets.

just a few weeks ago we had the real winter start with meters of snow and a cold wind. i don t know how you guys handle it, but the benefit from having a breeze downside in summer turns into a problem in winter when the wind comes freezing my tartan trout...

i read in Matthew Newsome´s book, that he is wearing long coats and that´s also for me the only way i see for surviving the winter kilted.
but with short jackets 1) i ´m catching to cold, secondly i think that a kilted man in a snow storm just makes think the other poeple that i must be crazy. i m really not minding about the non kilted, but under that cirsumstances i cause more damage to the idea of being kilted than i give it benefit while showing it.

i mean the advantage in summer, turns into the oppposite in winter. and i don t want to show the kilt in an inappropriate way. so i m talking about my weather here in vienna, the scottish or english winter is much warmer. So that´s the sad reason why i wear my kilts the whole year on a daily basis except those cold winter days and nights...
don ´t ask hwo i feel when i see my kilts hanging in the wardrobe...
