| “ | Scotland is not a real country, you are an Englishman with a dress!
— The Soldier on the Demoman's dress code
|

The Cool Breeze is a community-created cosmetic item for the Demoman. It replaces the Demoman's default pants with a walking kilt, alongside a sporran attached to the groin flap of his flak jacket and a pair of traditional kilt hose and team-coloured garter flashes worn with his default boots.
The Cool Breeze was contributed to the Steam Workshop. It was later updated with improved materials.

Unused content
The Cool Breeze is set up for paint to be applied, but the ability to do so is disabled.
Due to how the textures are set up, painting the Cool Breeze with single color Paint Cans would result in different colorization between teams.

Trivia
- The Cool Breeze's design was inspired by one of the concept arts for Demoman.[1]
- Both the name and description refer to the traditional way of wearing a kilt, in which the wearer has no undergarments beneath it.
- The RED kilt shows a close resemblance to the Clan Stewart tartan, while the BLU variant is very similar to Clan Mackay. Both of these clans were dominant in Scotland.
