Utility kilts, ladders, tools and roofs

[tundramanq]

Today I am wearing my Original black "grease monkey" Utilikilt. I have completed 2 of 5 swamp coolers (evaporative coolers), mine and the neighbors, to take the water out of them before it freezes here friday night. They are all on top of the roofs. The side cargo pockets make this easy. I can load all my needed tools and oil can in to them. All I have to hand carry is my ladder. Thus saving several trips between the houses and trips up and down the ladder. I am not willing to expose my tartans and sporrans to oil and abrasive shingle roofs. Wearing a sporran and climbing ladders does not mix well anyway I do recall the days before kilts, when I would try to use cargo p**ts pockets and the tools would keep falling out while on the ladder and when squatting on the roofs. This does not happen with the Utilikilts as the cargo pockets stay vertical because they are only attached to the top.
