Hey, I'm ill today, brain is going on tangents...

I live in Arizona where it gets HOT...remember one year in Phoenix it never got below 90 degrees for ninty days straight..numbers like 118F are real.

Madras is kind of a plaid, sort of...why not a madras kilt. Did a google search and found they exist for little girls.

They don't look bad. I could see a man's kilt in a madras pattern...very fashionable.

The regular madras cloth would be way too light for most wear, but maybe okay in the desert heat...don't know if madras patterns come in other cloths like the popular PV...?

Did Scots on duty in India ever fashion madras kilts?

Yes, I'm serious here....sorta....
