I was a blue collar worker (instrument maintainance) in a chemical plant before retiring in 2002, and I wore jeans daily. I, even with kilts still wear jeans more than any other pants. I wear them for bowling, fishing and for several other activities. Wearing relaxed fit jeans gets away from the tight crotch feeling. I am starting to replace them with kilts for some things now though. I guess in some ways, I'm a "kilted redneck"
