The ones in the black and purple are my lot - there is a kilt about half way through - many sides are including kilts as the summers are getting hotter.

We thoroughly enjoyed the video!

I can see how that could get hot...

I work in IT, and as such have (for years, long before 2020) worked from home quite a bit of the time. I mean, I remote into servers all over the country anyway, so I can remote in just as well from home as I can remote in from the office, and my workstation's better and more powerful at home. But even in the office I quite often wear a kilt. Exceptions being if I have to do a customer site visit or do work on a ladder (security cameras, WiFi access points, pulling wires through a ceiling, etc.). Or if I have to do something like tear apart a laser printer. Other than that, I generally work kilted as much as I can.

There is, from what I hear, a roofer in town who does roofing in a kilt. Although I have never seen him, I've heard about him. He's...apparently quite popular with the ladies at the hardware store.

I used to work as a backpacking guide, and I wore either a Utilikilt for quite a bit of it. Later I found the Mountain Hardwear Elkommando kilt, which was much more suitable for hiking.

The Utilikilt came in handy during a COVID-inspired construction project recently. It was pretty great - hardly had to wear a tool belt on days I wore my kilt.

I work at a small gym, which means that I can only really wear a kilt when I know it's going to be a "no surprises" kind of day. Unfortunately, those days are few and far between. When I do get to wear a kilt, I go for a USA Kilts Casual, because it looks the part without being expensive, and is machine washable in case I do have to get my hands dirty. I suppose I could wear my Sportkilt easy enough as well, but the USAK Casual just looks better.

I will check out the UDA Kilt casual.

I have an Angry Bastard Warhorse Kilt ordered already...

I have four USA Kilts casuals right now, and they are by far my most frequently worn "daily drivers". They are easy to clean, nearly indestructible, and I think they look quite nice.

Like always, I do, whatever I do, kilted. I don't wear a kilt for or avoid for, anything specific. If I get up and it's a kilt day - then it's a kilt day. If it's a jean day, it's a jean day no matter what I'm doing. Since I only wear my clan kilts it doesn't matter what I'm doing, if it's time for a kilt, it's time.

The big thing about the USAK Casual is that it looks the part of a traditional kilt. That AB Warhorse looks somewhat similar to the Utilikilt Workman I own, which I like for construction etc. But for daily wear, I'd much rather be wearing a tartan kilt. Plus, they're quite a bit cheaper at $100-150 for a kilt made in the USA with Scottish cloth.

I imagine it would be very comfortable working from home.
