I suspect Hamish will remember this......but a LONG time ago there somebody had found and posted a picture of a gentleman wearing what was sort of a Danish? version of a utilikilt. It wassupposedly in production by a company called Blaklader. They are not kilt makers as such, but they are makers of workwear.
Well......back in June of 2006!!! yes more than a year ago I emailed the company and asked them about the kilt. The reply was that it wasn't in production.
Skip forward til now....I get an email back!! An actual reply to my original question that in fact the work kilt is now in production.

From what I can tell it's only available in the UK, not in North America yet.
Here's a link to blaklader. Choose a European country...search for prodcuts, under Craftsman, then shorts....
Definately not for everybody....those big nail pockets on the front would come in handy if I was a carpenter though. My only beef with the website is for not showing the back. I wonder it it's actually pleated?

I'm counting on one of you to buy one and review it for me!

Like the look or not, you gotta hand it to the marketing guy for getting back to me when they went into production though huh?
