At work in a kilt

[Graham]

I've just uploaded a piccie from today. I had a few signs to install about town, this was the last for day.

I enjoyed the job all the more for being kilted. I wore a Bear 4 yard poly/vis and a leather sporran, which held my screws and etc.

I didn't get many comments, I think my kilt wearing is becoming more accepted now

Graham,

You always seem to amaze with all those kilted pictures, great job making the kilt wearing an every day occurance!

[Rufus]

Great picture Graham, and nice sign too!

I'd put a pic of me working in my kilt, but I don't think a picture of me staring at a computer screen while looking like a zombie would convey very much.

Your going to have to change that awful grey warehouse coat Graham. Get one which co-ordinates better ....Great pic as usual

Rufus.The picture of you could be taken as you walk Zombie like to the coffee machine.A kind of action-drama from real life

Sorry Gray but I would take it a step further than Freelander and leave the coat at home. Put on a nice, heavy sweater and let people see the kilts you wear! If you're in the shop painting, that's a different matter. Out in public, when you're hanging a sign, don't worry so much about your kilt. It's tough!

Rudi wears his Bear Kilt while leatherworking and making jewellry and his kilt actually has a couple of blotches of wax on it. It makes his kilt look less like a costume and more like a garment.
Rudi ripped the kilt pin right out of the front apron. A 1 1/2" tear. He only had it through the first layer of fabric and caught it on a fence when he was in a rush. Fortunately, his kilt was a little big to begin with and he's lost some weight. I managed to remove 2" of the front apron and re-sew the edge. His kilt now fits better and is tear free.

Sooner or later, you are going to spill paint on a kilt. It's inevitable. If you can't get the paint out of the fabric, then you'll have a painting kilt that you won't have to worry about while working. It will get more and more drops of paint until it looks like painter's shoes, all multicoloured dots and streaks. Then you can concentrate 100% on the work, without worrying about the kilt.

Dang Bear, I think you just invented the Jackson Pollock kilt!

David, trust me, they've seen me do the zombie coffee shuffle in the morning here at work.

Oh, I don't know. I'm sure there are Painter's Utilikilts that are plenty spotted.

Thanks for the fashion advice, sometimes i allow being practical to override my dress sense.

I think those dustcoats may come in green, but my main concern is wear and worse - tear when lifting signs or using power tools.

Apart from the grey coat, I must be the best dressed signwriter around, most go about in coveralls spotted with years of multicoloured paints.

Thankfully, paint plays a minor roll in signs these days.
