Withdrawral symptoms

Oooh sorry to hear about the job insecurity. Hope that luck changes.

I appreciate it. God hasn't let us starve before, so I still remain hopeful.

While I am all for going kilted 24/7/365, there are those times when I would still wear pants. It is for those "mucky jobs" as Derek put it. Regardless of the price of a kilt, kilts are too special for me to risk getting permanently damaged.

I do sympathize with the addiction.

Try making your own "working kilt" from a simple piece of cotton duck or cotton/poly camo. Something really cheap, nothing fancy. This pic shows my earliest "practice" pieces.



The unbleached cotton one I refer to as my painter's kilt, although I've never painted in it, but it does great while mowing lawns, planting trees, changing out chandeliers, etc. I never got around to putting a hammer loop on it, though.

Another idea for you is borrowed from the military, that is, use an apron over your aprons. Cooks were issued simple cotton tie-on aprons, with a small patch pocket in sporran position, to protect their woolen kilts from the perils of the kitchen.

Or perhaps a leather apron might be needed.

A stray neuron just fired and reminded me of my intent to do up a wraparound in camo Gore-Tex for those rainy days... Stop me before my brain explodes!!

Derek, the confinement of pants is always a shock, but so would be destroying a good quality kilt ($100 USD or more) on a painting project. I might get to the point where I have kilts that are truly "kick around", but I am not there yet, and I daresay Ham would agree! If I need to shovel sh%$ or the equivalent, it will not be in a kilt (unless I buy a kilt I hate ). I will let my pants be destroyed first.
