I am a transplanted (ok chucked out of the country) Yorkshireman who presently barely survives (with what the govenment leaves me out of my paycheque) in Kingston Canada. I work (show up) as a carpentor for a restoration company, as this means been on roofs (try kneeling on ashphalt shingles in the summer in a kilt ), scafolds, ladders I am for the most part unable to wear a kilt at work. The safety numskull throws a fit when we wear shorts at a consruction site when I showed in a kilt he almost had a heart attack on the spot ( almost solved the problem ) .
I wear the Lindsay plaid (my wifes maiden name) and own two 8 yard hand sewn kilts one sewn to the stipe one to the sept.
what I am looking for is advise as as where to buy a kilt to work at my second job as a blacksmith. I would need a wool or 100% cotton (poly blends and hot sparks make the boys scared) and I would prefer a trad knife pleated 5-8 yard that will not break the bank.

I have to go up to Kingston in a few weeks time to pick-up my daughter from Queens.
We could arrange to meet and I could show you a line of my work kilts in Denim hemp or leather. PM me at rkilts@rkilts.com
