Re: A Year In A Kilt
I can't really DO kilts, down here where I live in the Florida Keys. Toooooooooooooooooooo Hot. All that wool may cause me to have a heart attack. It was a wet sweaty 104 F. Today and always gets warmer in August. I can only wear my kilts when I visit friends in cooler states or countries. The rest of the time here is cotton skirts of various styles, all lightweight with lots of pockets...But I've been in and out of skirts since 1982 or visiting the South Pacific where the main male garments are various kinds of men's skirted garments, as in Tonga = Tupenu, Hawaii = Kain or Sarong, Fiji = Sulu, etc. These are all Christian countries. Farther east in India and Muslim countries, they have other names for skirted men's garments.

Re: A Year In A Kilt
Since 1982,
Only real 8 yard wool kilts are heavy and hot.
There are light weight fashion kilts with much less and softer fabric that can compete with sulus, tupenus and Ie faitaga wrap skirts worn by the Samoa police. See pic.

Re: A Year In A Kilt
Good for you, Janrok...I live in the Florida Keys where the average year around temp is approx. 90% F and hotter in the summer, PLUS if you've not seen any of my pics, I'm slightly(or more so) overweight and sweat a lot. I can't assume everyone is shaped the same like you must be able to, and suffers various temps the same everywhere. In my 70 years, there are about as many different experiences with heat as there are different heats. I also live at least 90% of the time outside in the daytime and 30% outside at night where the temp drops wayyy down to 88% per night.

Since1982,
I have read all of your posts since I joined this forum in December and I have seen your pictures so I am very much aware of the health and weight issues limiting your mobility and probably causing lots of pain. I admire you for still trying to enjoy life as much as possible. Chapeau my friend!

Re: A Year In A Kilt
chapeau? what, hat? I've never wished anyone "hat", but I am willing to give it a go!
I thought my lousy knowledge of French had deserted me so I checked, it hadn't.
So here goes;
Hat Skip!
(sorry,)

Chapeau is French for Hats off!, we Dutch say Petje af.
It means lots of respect.
But of course you know that...

Re: A Year In A Kilt
I didn't! I told you my French was poor, the Google search said "hat" which tied in with my failed memory! It just goes to prove that you are never too fat to learn! Well I'm not too fat to learn anyway!janrok wrote:BandB: (Bed & Breakfast?)

Re: A Year In A Kilt
The literal meaning (for those of us who remember a bit of their high school French from decades ago) is hat. I was aware of the colloquial meaning as Jan described because there has been a restaurant in my neighborhood named Chapeau! for about 15 years. The top of their menu explains the additional use for the word.janrok wrote:BandB: (Bed & Breakfast?)

Re: A Year In A Kilt
Perhaps the expression chapeau! is more a Europian continental thing.
But we are running a little off topic, unless the topic would be "A year in a hat"
