sartorial testing

[gfish]

Today was again cold and wet, but I tested something out. I wore one of my Utilikilts and also took along a pair of long underwear in my backpack. Before heading home when it was extra cold and wet, I put them on. (Easy enough to do wearing a skirt, of course.) Worked pretty well! I wouldn't want to do it for long excursions, but for getting home it worked just fine. This was my old pair of cotton longjohns; I have a nice synthetic wicking pair which would work even better in the rain but they were dirty. The kilt itself got a bit drenched, but it's thick enough that it wasn't a problem even though it is also cotton. I'm glad to have the option to wear a kilt in this kind of weather. And I do like the long underwear under a kilt look. It appeals to the grungy PNW guy in me.
