I drive a delivery truck. This means climbing in and out all day, in and out of stores and bushiness, bending and squatting. During the milder weather I wear kilts EVERY day. So these work clothes need to be affordable and I also prefer machine washable. I have two ultimate Sport Kilts. I normally wear Black Kilt Hose anyway. Wearing black leggings, most people never noticed, from the front you can only see 3 inches of knees. Just to make it interesting I asked several of my regular customers what they thought of my wardrobe choices. The response was totally positive.
For those who have gotten to know me, know I pretty much march to the tune of my own pipes. I love wearing my kilts. Working in this part of the country in single digit temperatures isn't much fun. So when you can do it in a kilt and stay warm too, I think I'll go for the tights, The cheep ones.
Matty you along with most of us here march to our own piper or drummer. I have worn a pair of black wool "long underwear" with my kilt and Saskatchewan Roughrider sweater to a game in November. It was - 10 deg C. I also had a blanket over my knees... My Riders won and went on to win the Grey Cup!
