Cold Weather Kilting?

[Raphael]

I also prefer to wear my hose scrunched with boots rather than at the knee but I may have to alter that for the cold. Boots and knee high hose look a little goofy though.

Any advice or recommendations?

Function over fashion.

Look at it logically...if it gets entirely too savage, you can always wear something under the kilt...get over the "regimental or nothing" philosphy and deal with reality. You can always excuse yourself to the mens' room and divest yourself of any auxilliary under-kilt accessories if it makes you happier.

And I vote for some emergency wooly leggings strapped on Viking-style in case of totally Antarctical conditions...fur would be better.

I did see a place online where they sold those very high leggings that were worn in the Seven Years War...don't know about wearing them with a kilt but they looked rather practical for some other applications...sort of very tall gaiters.

8 yrd 13 oz traditional kilt works fine for me in winter - we have mild winters of -10 to -20 C

PS
Yes, hose is pulled up, and have nice warm hat, gloves and jacket.
