Kilts sell swedish trousers

**Lallans** · 24th September 10, 01:34 PM

I noticed this while admiring some really high quality (expensive) Blaklader Scandanavian work pants (UK = trousers): the manufactor's label on the pants/trousers actually shows a kilted construction worker! I mean, talk about using gold to sell silver! The illustration can be seen here although they have perhaps tried to hide their shame by placing a banner across part of it: http://www.blakladerworkwear.ca/

Why don't they just sell the kilt? Especially considering the price of their pants?

Well they do sell the kilt;

Explains part of the mystery anyway.

So- do they sell this kilt with an label illustration of trousers?? Anyway, how much is the kilt? Doesn't seem to be available in Canada. The trou are Can$125.00. Very handsome items... Items? Item? Good looking pants.

EDIT: whoops, they're on the same Canadian website. Certainly not seen in my local hardware store however.

Yes and it seems like a fine kilt too, rather surprising that I haven't encountered it before- but calling around the several larger dealers where I live, as per the website, nobody answering the phone even knows what the work "kilt" means (the companies are a non-celtic ethnic group by name at least)- which I take to mean these kilts aren't being sold in this part of Canada at least. I will enquire at my local outlet (nearby work) but if the trou are $125 the kilt ain't gonna be a bargain price I'm guessing, even if I find them.

I too followed the links from Blaklader's Canadian site but had better luck. At Work Work Wear sells them for $140 and ships them free within Canada. Sounds like a bargain for that type of kilt:

Awesome research Dude, and I don't have a 100 mile kilt policy. Thanks!
