    i have to admit that although i really tried to wear my kilts in winter it is to cold for me. when i m outside i m really exposed cause i ve no car. with car it s another story, but so i ve to get by bus, tramway or metro with many ways in the streets.

    just a few weeks ago we had the real winter start with meters of snow and a cold wind. i don t know how you guys handle it, but the benefit from having a breeze downside in summer turns into a problem in winter when the wind comes freezing my tartan trout...

    i read in Matthew Newsome´s book, that he is wearing long coats and that´s also for me the only way i see for surviving the winter kilted.
    but with short jackets 1) i ´m catching to cold, secondly i think that a kilted man in a snow storm just makes think the other poeple that i must be crazy. i m really not minding about the non kilted, but under that cirsumstances i cause more damage to the idea of being kilted than i give it benefit while showing it.

    i mean the advantage in summer, turns into the oppposite in winter. and i don t want to show the kilt in an inappropriate way. so i m talking about my weather here in vienna, the scottish or english winter is much warmer. So that´s the sad reason why i wear my kilts the whole year on a daily basis except those cold winter days and nights...
    don ´t ask hwo i feel when i see my kilts hanging in the wardrobe...

    I don't wear a kilt at work. Otherwise, in the summer most of the time and in the winter only when the weather is humane or I just can't stand it any longer.

    If I'm not at work I'm wearing a kilt. I'd wear it at work too if they'd let me.

    I'm almost always kilted except on the coldest of days, or during certain tasks which would lead me to be at too great a risk of exposure, or which may actually damage my kilts. (i.e... riding my motorcycle, working on a creeper underneath a car, operating a chainsaw) I'll also wear p*nts if I feel like blending into the crowd, basically becoming an invisible non-entity. In general, I'd say 90% of the time I'm in a kilt.

    I'm try to be kilted all wekkend and at least 1 day a week. I managed 11 days in a row recently and really enjoyed it but I must be honest and say I find my kilts to warm to work around the house in ( I'm a househusband)
    HAPPY KILTING

    Ditto, except I do have some shorts for working up ladders and overalls for some spray painting work.

    I'd say 98% of my life right now.
    I did hang on to a couple of pairs of shorts for gym work, Graham, but once I realised that the gym was doing nothing for me, I binned them too!

    From what I've read of you here on the forum, Hamish, I have to say I expected nothing less.

    Too cool!
