I had a similar experience at the recent Meadows Games (Virginia) when Saturday was just plain nasty - wet, cold, and windy all day.

I was asked by a couple of I was cold but explained that I had 8 yards of wool wrapped around me and was probably warmer and dryer than they were in their jeans, to which they promptly agreed! The man looked at his wife and announced that he needed to buy a kilt!

I get that all the time on cold days, "aren't you cold in that?" etc.. I just tell them "I got 17 feet of tartan wrapped around my butt, hows them jeans treating you?"

I was asked by a woman once while wearing a kilt on a wintery day if I was cold. I told her "Madam, I have the wool of five sheep wrapped around my waist, when was the last time you saw a sheep shivering because it was cold?" She paused to reflect on that for a moment then started laughing.Between my wool sweater, wool kilt and wool kilt hose I was quite comfortable.

What a consolation it is; the more men who wear the kilt more often, the more the great unwashed lowing conforming hordes will have the opportunity to come up with "interesting comments."

Funny that this thread popped up when it did. I am a native New Englander and find it funny here in So. Cal. when the temperatures gets to 50F or below you starting seeing wool hats, mittens and real cold weather jackets. Saturday night was probably in the mid 50s but damp and relatively cool. I was wearing a kilt at a concert and at the intermission I must have been asked ten times if I wasn't absolutely freezing cold in a kilt. Little do the uninitiated know. (I was very comfortable)

A few years ago was out and about in a snowstorm wearing my leather Utilikilt. My date and I went into a restaurant and the hostess said, "Aren't you cold?" My thoughtless response ( no clue where it came from) I said, "Nope, I've got a heater under there." Fortunately it cracked up both the hostess and the date.
