    Thumbs up Kudos to Utilikilts

    You've got to hand it to Utilikilts for making favorable mention of another company's product in their own newsletter including a picture and a link. Here's what they wrote:

    A Swedish Kilt On The Market

    The Blåkläder kilt
    Our inboxes have been flooded with people telling us about a new kilt from Swedish work-wear company Blåkläder. These guys have been doing hardcore work clothing since 1959, and have a pretty revolutionary view of cargo pockets, knee pads, and construction techniques. It took me a bit to get used to their design quirks, but now I totally get it.

    Recently, they took their cargo pockets and heavy duty cotton fabric (dock cloth? denim? hard to tell…) and made a work kilt.

    I don’t know anyone who has tried one of these babies on yet, but judging from the photos, it looks like a great addition to the Men’s Unbifurcated Garments (MUGs) category!
    Best regards,

    Jake

    With that kind of name, Rowan Atkinson keeps on coming to mind!

    That's the first thing I thought of when I saw the name

    That`s grand. I can just hear it being sung in that falsetto voice in Blaklader II.

    Mr Sven, I have a cunning plan....
