Hard to tell for sure whether the sett is MacDaighlough or MacLoud, but I'm sure it's one of those.
I notice on the website that the kilt is in their "shorts" section. Perhaps someone should reassure the Royal Troon golf club that they were right after all.

Work all day at 36C and, well, you'll sweat buckets but it'll evaporate in the 15% humidity we had around here this summer.
One thing I like/hate is the way the pleats are sewn out completely open. I like it in the warm months when the wind goes freely up under. I hate it in the cold months when the wind goes freely up under. Even in a good breeze, though, it stays down -- which is more than I can say for a couple of my UKs.
It's sure not Burns Night material, but I declare it makes me nimble in the chute when I have to tackle a ewe making a break for freedom. The neighbours don't even bat an eye anymore.

I think a MacDaighlough kilt would be a perfect gift for a lineman or construction worker. Not only safty colored but think of the convience of never having to answer The Question.

We are supposed to bring something hi-vis for this type of duty... Currently, I simply carry hi vis work gloves.

Wouldn't be any good for me as on my railway we use hi vis orange as per the jacket modelled by Alex on his recent visit!
