Looks great, Ron. And the UK Blue Denim is a nice looking kilt.

I'll have to check out some lighter weight kilt hose like that. I don't have any true 'kilt hose' right now, just a small collection of wool socks. I love 'em, and they look just fine, just a wee bit toasty in the boots when it gets to 90F and above.

Gotta agree with Robertson on this... but I'm even worse as I begin to melt at 65° F (18° C). I am just not a warm weather kinda guy...give me wind and rain and/or snow over a warm Summer's day anytime.
Happy to hear you've got something comfy to wear in those blazing temps, Ron, but are those socks pushed down or rolled down? Not being rude, I'm just curious...they look rolled down to me (on my pc). Whatever works for ya and please do what P1M suggests: Get inside and have a cold one...or better yet, a nice warm brandy might work even better. 
Hmm...come to think of it, that's a good idea if I do say so myself. See ya...

Hi Ron!
I grew up in the "Valley" and remember quite well the gentle
summer days when the asphalt melted and one could fry eggs on the sidewalks (it's possible, I've done it). Still have family in Mesa and Holbrook.
The outfit looks good and cool.

May all your blessings be the ones you want and your friends many and true.

Aye MacSimoin,
Your monitor is better than mine for sure, they look like crew sox on my monitor. But they are pushed down, scrunched, not rolled.
Was working in Phoenix the year of 123 degrees F and wearing a tie for work too. The asphault was soooo hot that it shifted under my feet when I walked on it.
Five hours north of there, here in the canyonlands, its five to ten degrees cooler in the summer. Only 90 F this evening. I be wearin' sandals. Only do the sox for work.

Looking good--Worked in Dubai, it got up to 50 degrees on a regular basis, so I know how hot it is.
