What kilt?

J.B.,

Please tell us what kind of kilt (tartan or solid color) you are looking for and how you intend to wear it (casual or formal).

For a working man check out Utilikilts Workman's as mentioned, Freedom Kilts, and RKilts.

You also might want to PM Graham down in Tasmania, he's a sign guy and is probably up ladders as much as HVAC guys are. He's some solid field experience with working kilts.

I would like to get a tartan kilt (US Navy) to wear for casual and then eventually get one (Fraser) for more formal wear (dinner, taking the family out, etc.).

I don't think I will wear a kilt for my work any time soon (frostbitten fingers from a broken refrigerant line is one thing, but other appendages would be much worse).

Thank you all for your input thus far!

Rocky at USA Kilts recently special ordered a bunch of US Navy tartan in PV for us, and made some incredible kilts from them. Give him a call, as I'm fairly certain he still has enough to make more kilts.

After that, do check out Freedom Kilts, which is run by our own Wizard of BC. You may find that his Carhardt gold working kilt is attractive for the work environment, despite your statement that it would be awhile before you did that.

As others have suggested, USA Kilts is the place to go for a casual kilt in the US Navy tartan. See here:

The PV (polyviscose) tartan material USA Kilts uses is a durable 11 oz. machine-washable material with a Teflon coating made by Marton Mills in the UK. It is a very good choice for a casual tartan kilt.
