Utility kilts for grungy mechanic work

[MichiganKyle]

As a hobby, I like to restore antique equipment, both at home (I've got a Model T, among other old stuff) and for a museum I volunteer at (largely around 100 year old machinery). Typically, I change into a pair of old worn-out jeans due to how covered I tend to get in old grease, rust, and just general grunge. Yesterday, I was lying on a creeper working on brakes most of the day, and when I finally got cleaned up and changed into a kilt for lounging around the house, it was like a breath of fresh air. I'm quite fed up with pants in general, but wouldn't want to wear one of my tartan kilts for this kind of work - my pants yesterday were covered in decades-old caked dirt, grease, and soaked with brake fluid in spots, and that's pretty typical. I'd love to get a utility kilt for this kind of work that could stand up to oil, grease, rust, etc. and just general abuse.

I've looked at a few of them, but part of the reason I love kilts is due to the freedom of movement, and many utility kilts look like they'd be quite restrictive. Or they have pockets in weird places, like back pockets over the top of pleats. Or, like Utilikilts, they have their crisscrossed straps on the back that look like they'd be really uncomfortable to lay on when working on the bottom of a vehicle.

So, I guess criteria would be:

• Material which is easily washable with strong detergents and degreasers
• Fairly plain - not going for a "goth" look, but for practicality
• Unrestrictive freedom of movement
• Dark-colored for oil stains
• Minimal stuff on the back other than pleats
• Pocket large enough for wallet and phone plus maybe one other pocket is enough - don't need much for pockets since I'll mostly be using tools that wouldn't fit in them anyway

The one I've found that looks most suitable would be something like this, likely in black to work around problems with oil staining:

It's cotton/poly (looks durable, washable), dark-colored, has minimal decorative stuff, and still looks like it would wear like a normal kilt. Any other recommendations? Or anyone who has one of these that could give a review?
