Utility kilts for grungy mechanic work

[tripleblessed]

I cannot escape the thought that a pair of trousers are sometimes the best option for some jobs. We in Scotland worked that out years ago and see no problem in doing so and without a second thought.

Years of doing fun and interesting things 20 to 350 feet off the floor taught me kilts, while wonderfully comfortable and versatile, are not the attire for every task. Last year I put a new roof on my mother-in-law's house. If one has doubts about putting on a pair of trousers, I suggest sliding around on shingles.

Ouch.

Only person in my town that I know of (outside of folks I've met on XMTS) who wears a kilt is a roofer who wears a utility kilt. I have never seen this man, but he is somewhat famous among the women at the hardware store, who apparently enjoy the view.

Or a metal roof in the Texas sun. When I built my barn many years ago, I made the mistake of wearing shorts whilst putting on the metal roof. I only had to kneel on the metal and burn my knee once to realise that this is a task for trousers!
