I just received a kilt from Stillwater in the Nightstalker tartan. It's a pretty good kilt for casual wear. One thing to beware of - the picture of the Nightstalker tartan on their website is very misleading. On the site it comes across as a brown base, when in reality it is black. It's still nice looking, but not what I expected.

That is most likely due to different colorations of monitors. I thought it was a grey-ish base from my monitor.

You're probably right Chasem. And, in reality, it's probably not black, but a real dark charcoal. (yeah, I know, what's the difference)

The main thing is to remember about colors being different on your monitor.

It's still a nice looking kilt, I just have to coordinate differently.

Can't see a lightweight kilt in a freight warehouse...

I'm with Jimmy, get a Utilikilt. Either a workman's or a Survival would be tough enough. You'll also appreciate the pockets.

I still can't understand why trucker's aren't all wearing UK workmans or survivals for the FREEDOM.

Only other thought would be a leather kilt you didn't mind putting some serious patina on. Probably cool enough up there in Alberta. Robert at RKilts puts pockets on his. UK is talking about adding pockets to their leather kilt but not sure if its available yet.

After Visiting Freedom Kilts two days, I would highly recommand a Freedom Kilt over a tartan kilts for the line of work that you do. The Freedom Kilts have pockets and you don't need to use a Sporran.

I have a Black Stewart from Stillwater kilts. For the Money, they are great. But they are warm.

Dave - do you have a picture of this kilt you could share? I love the look of this one on their website but it appears brownish-grey to me there. I'd like to see another picture of it.

I'll try to get a picture of it. I can tell you it has a black base with a grey pattern, with no brown at all.
