WARNING - YOU MIGHT NOT WANT TO READ THIS!

I had a WPG military style kilt and wore it to Edinburgh one day in late October, when the weather was cool. I'm not sure that it is simply the weight of the kilt and the fabric that makes the difference.... I am too heavy (nay, too FAT), and I found that after a couple of hours of walking around, my inside thighs were SORE. I stopped at the pharmacist and bought some talc and was VERY glad to get back to the hotel, to shower and apply liberal quantities.

I have since invested in longer legged athletic briefs, sold the WPG and bought a 16oz regular 8yd kilt from Kinloch Anderson.

I've worn this combination in the late summer in Northern France and WALKED and WALKED and WALKED in it, and suffered no ill effects.

If I lost a few stone, I am sure that the chaffing wouldn't be a problem but I suspect that I would suffer whatever the climate if I didn't wear the right under-kilts!

Cheers
Graham.
