    Acclimation

    We get a lot of tourists down here and the problem seems to be acclimation. I have lived in South Florida for going on 5 years. I remember first driving into Florida in December around Tampa and I couldn't believe the heat! Now, because I am used to the heat, I can wear a quarter sleeve baseball shirt in dark colors, a belt, socks, shoes and long pants to work everyday without breaking a sweat in 90 degree weather and close to 100% humidity. If I am outside for over half-an-hour or I stand out in the sun, of course I will get a little foissht. We have AC inside, but it doesn't effect me once I get outside. (I'm not sure how does AC play in all this?) If tourists dressed like me they would get heatstroke! Just my 2 cents...

    Rocky,

    In the Customer Galleries of your website, there is a photo of a man playing a yellow violin/fiddle. His kilt's tartan is Stewart Hunting, correct? Is this PV material? Is he wearing a Philabeg or a semi-traditional kilt?

    That's Danny Ray Cole in the pic. He's a great guy and a talented Violin player. Yes, it IS Stewart Hntg and his is our casual model. The material is PV.
