These have been around for a few years but not actively marketed to the vast public. They do have an American retailer that I believe Cloves is talking with to obtain one when the stock comes in.

It's definitely a "industrial" looking kilt. Very "work-apron" looking. A good alternative to the UK Workmans depending on what the price works out to.

Sorry, but it looks like a skirt to me.

More and more of the men of the world are turning to kilt like garments for work and leisure. A friend sent me an advert cut from a German newspaper of a large construction company, all of the men are dressed in a company logo Henley shirt and Blaklader kilts, with a company logo where a kilt pin would be. Neither the paper or the company appear to have web sites.

Unless you count www.blaklader.com. The "US" version of the website doesn't have this garment listed, although a news article does note that its product code is 8566.
