My son-in-law much prefers a kilt to wearing trousers. He was wearing his kilt on Sunday when the whole family met up at the Ironbridge Victorian Village as part of my husband's 70th birthday celebrations. It was boiling hot, but he seemed comfortable enough in it.

He must be made of stronger stuff than I am!
Either that or he has one of those modern lightweight ones;
'cos my kilt weighs a ton - well around eight pounds, as it's wool. Add on the leather belt, silver buckles, kilt pin, sporran, not to mention the wollen hose and nicky tams, and the whole thing's a heck of a burden - especially as I walk to church - about a mile from my house.
Of course, when it's wet, the kilt can REALLY be heavy.
