Utility Kilt Question

[Mel1721L]

Based purely on my own observations over a few years (which could be totally erroneous), they look to me - sloppy.

If you look up the "1 kilt - 10 looks" thread, you will see that a tartan kilt can be dressed up or down. I think it is almost impossible to dress up a utilikilt.

Yes I think you are right, but I was thinking to work in where I don't want to mess up a traditional kilt or maybe just for slopping around in.

Have you thought about a Casual from USA Kilts for such tasks?

The postage and tax I have to pay really limit what I can buy from America. I used to buy loads of stuff but the USPS postage went so high it was no longer worth it.

I think, Mel that those two activities have two different requirements.

In a totally casual environment, in and around the house, the utility kilt might be just the job for comfort.

On the other hand, if I am working with any petrochemicals, on the car, painting a room, making a lot of dust, lots of lifting, then I put on my overalls / boilersuit first. It is quite true that you should always use the right tool for the job. I think that the right clothing for the job in hand is also a requirement. I am just not convinced that a utility kilt is the right clothing for that kind of work.

Thanks for your input Chas. I don't do any heavy or dangerous work now, I normally wear shorts and t shirt for what I do.
