    Aye,

    A very spiritual place. Especially when we took the tour off the beaten track back into the recesses of Mystery Valley and the Anasazi cliff dwellings. So quiet.

    No, the leather kilt isn't hot. Today it was in the low 70s F and wasn't even hot with kilt hose due to the very high winds.

    I've worn my leather kilt in the summers here in Arizona when the temp is well over 100 degrees F. Leather seems to like the heat, actually molds to my body and settle in to a solid fit.

    It does keep me warm in the winter. Have worn the UK leather in snow and sleet storms and it kept me toasty too. Go figure. Hot in winter, cool in summer. Certainly not a lightweight poly kilt, but not oppressive at all in the summer.

    Wore my RKilts saffron leather kilt in Albuquerque last June with no problem. Guessing its because the kilt is a kilt. Leather pants or a jacket would no doubt be very hot.

    I took a leather jacket with me this weekend, but never wore it.

    Hey KCW,

    Good eye....but no...blue sleeves were from the Gathering of Nations t-shirt I wore yesterday. Marines t-shirt was today. Wore the kilt three days in a row on the road...works great.
