    top idea and good business name to get hold of as well. I hope they or another biz get to use the same name. maybe a trapese act...yeah well maybe.
    Bit of a dodgy line drawing there tho, got some dangerous looking accessories.

    Interesting note on this topic. Last week I got an email from Brent Hohlweg,
    Founder and Vice President of MeninKilts thanking me for the post on Xmarks. They had gotten over 100 hits on their website just from this post. I am glad to see interest in a local business. Now if Brent and his team would all head down to a Kilts Night we could double the crowd

    I saw them in Steveston the other day while I was driving around. Didn't get to talk with them, but they wear their cilts well.

    I have only seen them on the Variety Club telethon. They were presenting a group donation. I would love to see one of the trucks around town. It's only too bad I am in a townhouse (strata) or I would use them for my gutters and windows.

    One of those hits would have been from me, Colin. I am so sorry I cannot offer them any business as a result, but I already have a good window cleaner! Unfortunately, I have not yet persuaded him to give the kilt a try although he'll happily wear shorts all year round - I'm still working on him though.......

    The window cleaner we had for years always wore shorts all year round, it must be the trade and the need for freedom of movement, if only more of them could discover kilts!

    with all the up & downing they have to do oin ladder & such, kilts might be a little bit too much freedom of movement for them - unless they cheated & did shorts underneath as seen in the Men In Kilts site a while back.
    ITS A KILT, G** D*** IT!

    The more the merrier. Here in Denver we have more than one company kilted. There is a construction crew, water delivery service, and a few painting crews. As others have noted it is a great way to be noticed and remembered. Plus all the guys I have ran into love the extra attention. One told me it makes it hard to get his deliveries done with all the extra attention. Ah how the ladies like a kilted man.

    These guys have been all over the place lately.
    Now only did they have a spot at the Highland Games, they have advertiments everywhere, I have seen them working away at a mini mall near my place, there tartan trucks are all over, my folks are going to hire them to do the eaves and windows of their new home, and the local Celtic themed newspaper did an big article on them in the October issue. Here's a link http://www.celtic-connection.com/fea...10_02_bus.html

    Keep up the great work Nic and Brent.

    Here's their site again http://www.meninkilts.net/
