crazy! .....remember that European work kilt?

**Curnir** · 14th October 07, 03:20 PM

hmm Blaklader is a swedish firm, I'll make some phonecalls to the local work cloths shops to see if they have any avaliable.

If they do I'll go check it out. And if it looks good, buy one.

I'll bring my camera as well.

Ok I found several shops that had it... but none in my size.

Oh well I'll head off to one of the shops with my camera and snap some pictures.

And maybe place an order

so I requested pics of the back....and here's the response I got...
copied and pasted right out of my email

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Renee,
The kilt IS available in the US. I will send you a picture of the back tomorrow. I had some quick shots take yesterday and will hve it available for email tomorrow.

I read something online that I think you wrote… tell the guys it is available on www.thenewworker.com as of next week. Call the number on the site to pre order as they are going fast and we only made a limited quantity this first year. As mentioned we are a workwear company and kilts are not our specialty…

Talk to you soon.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

like i mentioned above, even if you hate the look of the product, the guy selling the stuff seems pretty honest so far.

I'll post the back pics as soon as he sends them to me.

Just a correction as I posted the original... It is a Swedish Company that make the kilt

Curnir...thanks for posting the pics.
Hrmm.....intriguing...but I don't think it's quite for me.

Not my cup of tea; Utilikilt looks much smarter. Amerikilt also. This is like a kilted version of Coveralls for a factory.

**Chef** · 18th October 07, 06:57 PM

Doesn't look like a kilt to me.

**Makeitstop** · 19th October 07, 12:35 AM

I like the pocket under the apron. And the pretty much sums up the pros...

I agree 100%.

When I took the photos I reached over to check the depth of the pleats. And had to stop myself from going ***.

That said, I might get one after all. The college society I was active in wear coveralls to our traditional parties. I wouldn't wear my UK or AK to such a function. those are to nice, this "kilt" however seems to be just the thing.... Of course I could get a PV kilt in the college society colours. But that seems wrong. And there are no pockets for the beer.
