I'm headed to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon tomorrow - about 8,000 feet and generally forested area - for some hiking. Weather should be sunny about 60 degrees F at the most.

I've never hiked in a tank, but I'm so dang proud of my new Kathy's Kilt I'm thinking of going hiking wearing it - 16oz Strome. I know it'd do the job for keeping me warm.

My question is, am I being stupid to wear such a fancy kilt hiking in the woods?

My mind races between thoughts that its what my ancestors did and what if I got dirt or pitch on the kilt?

And yes, I think I just wanna show off my new Macdonald of Kingsburgh tartan....I feel like such a gutter kilt addict....

Anyone else wear their hand sewn kilts hiking?

Lord knows I have plenty of knock around contemporary kilts to wear instead.
