Me in my UK Workmans

[MACKAY]

Thought I would throw up a picture of me in my UK Workmans doing about as much work as I like to do in the fall ... little to none!



And one of me, working a tiny bit harder (in the kitchen) cutting up some stuffed hot peppers ... whew!

Nice piccies Brian, the kilt looks good on you. I really think those kilts can take harder work though :-)

i think you can get belts like that at work world........

The belt is right from Home Depot. It is a one size fits all (I'm a 44), and ran $12.99. Made by McGuire-Nicholas, model #DM-605-CC Oil Saddle.

Those are nice pics. My first kilt was a Caramel U.K Workmans! Heres the Twilightzone part-I wear the same belt,from Home Depot with mine.
The Workmans U.K was what got me into kilts. I saw one at a renn fair and looked them up online. The rest is history.

Brian, great looking kilt! You have made me re-evaluate my belt selection! I just purchased a similar belt that is reversible from black to brown, but was not sure I liked it (a totally differnet style from what I wore with p#$%s). Looking at your pics, I think that I have changed my mind and will keep it (was going to return it to Wal-mart).

Very similar to a belt I bought at Menards. Same maker, 90605. 3 inch oil tanned with 2 prong roller buckle. Got mine for $7 and change as I recall on sale. I like those tool belts. ;-)

I tried several belts with the Workman’s, but the kilt is so rugged looking that they just did not do it justice. I wore the kilt once to a local Tractor Supply and one of the guys there asked me if it were a Carhart Kilt! That got me to thinking that I needed a rugged belt to match the character of this type of kilt, and when I came across this belt I jumped on it.

What is nice is that the Workman’s has nice 3-inch belt loops, so it really took this type of belt well. I always get compliments on it and have never have a hard time explaining the masculinity of the kilt when wearing it with this belt. Of course being 6 foot and 240 lbs doesn't hurt either :-)

Thanks for all the compliments guys ...

Brian -- I moved this thread over to the kilt pics section, since it's more appropriate there.

Cheers,
