| | | Builders Kilt
Pinched the below from a new design website..
Scottish builders will soon be able to show their Celtic roots while on the construction site - by wearing a craftsman kilt.
Swedish work apparel supplier Blåkläder has started producing the 'high visibility kilt' which meets with strict health and safety rules thanks to reflective strips.
The kilt, designed by Marcus Jahnke, from the School of Industry Design, Gothenburg, has two nail pockets, a loop for carrying a hammer and a knife-holder. |

Thanks for posting the pics. That company has been doing work kilts for a while but this is the first I've seen of this reflective kilt. Usually they were just heavy denim material.

A bit of the look of firefighter's turnouts...

I can't decide if that is really cool or really bizarre.

Wow, that's bright! It would be hard to miss someone in that.

High visibility = understatement!

Acceptable safety (visibility) attire, yes. Acceptable ladder attire, I think not!
