    That, or a trench coat. You're a punk- you have a long black trench, right? If not, you need one. I adore my leather duster. Of course, getting into a car in kilt and trench is a bit of a pain, but you get used to that.

    What kilt were you wearing? A hazard for most any kilt, but moreso for the light weight ones.

    But the wind can catch a heavy kilt too. I'd guess my UK brown leather is one of my heaviest. But when I went climbing in Mystery Valley, Utah and the wind got under me then the kilt got a free lift, even as heavy as it is.



    Practice walking kilted on windy days, get used to the wind like women get used to the wind when wearing skirts. You'll learn to be extra alert at the edges of buildings, entering a building, standing beside a vehicle - especially a truck.

    But sometimes, when the wind "gets you" ya just gotta brass it out.

    My wind-free kilts so far are Utilikilt, Heritage of Scotland, & One from Kiltmart. (But I wouldn't pit them against Chicago). The 'worst' is Sportkilt, it practically lifts itself just for fun. But I love the tartan and it's great for summer.

    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

    Be carefull where you flash. Poland has become a popular venue now for Scottish Stag nights and are getting quite offended by Scottish hin' ends (***, butt - you get the idea) being thrust at them.
    There's a time and a place for going commando, so remember not everyone wants to see what's up there.

    Start a new trend. Or restart an old one... We did when I was kid. Of course, I was more a metalhead who hung out with a bunch of punks. Leather dusters are killer!
