>>2775337I've given this a lot of thought. I still hadn't actually bought a wool kilt (since the shitty one I got at a ren fair in the 90's) I've bought 2 pv kilts and a utilikilt. I have no illusions why I'm doing it. It's for attention and to put my wife in the mood to peg me (we have conveniently dovetailing gender role issues.)
It's also more comfortable on long drives if you go "regimental" , but that's really an afterthought.
As for wool, I have found that wool blend socks reduce for pain and are more comfortable than cotton. The down side is they shrink, even if you hang them to dry. Knit wool caps are very comfortable and not as bad in hot weather as you might think, but not preferable in summer.
A practical tip: it's get easier to wear shorts and knee high wool socks on a cold morning and change your socks when it gets hot than to change pants to shorts.
While I do this for practical reasons on appropriate days, I have noticed younger women initiating conversation and smiling at me. I can't say for sure if they are turned on by it as I'm not about to fuck up my job and my marriage to find out, but I like the attention and that's good enough.
I really want to wear the wool kilt socks unfolded as thigh highs, but I think that's pushing it. I wasn't kidding about the autogynephilia. It's a line I won't cross though. At least not at work, not yet.
Also, fuck clan tartans. Look at the House of Edgar hebridean and 1783 tartans. They are designed for aesthetics over bullshit tradition.
