The "right" length for a kilt...

**McFarkus** · 6th September 08, 01:39 AM

I wore mine at 10º F with a brisk wind blowing last winter to the Robbie Burns dinner. 8 yards of wool at my waist, wool hose to my knee. I WAS able to feel the cold just a bit at my knee, but was not at all uncomfortable.

Sorry chaps, but we discovered that years ago!

I have to agree. The wool has magical properties, especially if it is crafted into a kilt.

It was about -5 C this day.

Maybe that's my problem: none of my kilts are wool. The one I had on yesterday is poly-viscous. I would like a wool one, but it will have to wait until there's cash in the kitty to afford one.
