If only, Dale! If only! Alas, this is not my home. It is a simply beautiful Elizabethan country house, built in 1577/9, about two miles from where I live. I always try to take overseas friends there when they visit me, because the house with its stunning gardens is so quintessentially English and reeks of history. (See www.parhaminsussex.co.uk )
I think you also have a kilt for anything that comes up. Someone talks about a white kilt, and there you are in a white kilt! Great!
DALE.
Yes, that was my intention before getting rid of every trousered item of clothing almost seven years ago. I was determined to be able to attend everything from a football match to a banquet at Buckingham Palace, and be correctly dressed for the occasion - in the kilt. With 59 kilts and several sets of accessories currently to my name, I guess I can do that! (See my Photo Album for a selection - link below).
Now, let's hand the thread back to Ron!!!

Ron, I think the additional pictures are a big improvement. I like the blue t-shirt with the white kilt. It also looks very good with the bomber jacket.

Thanks Darrell,
Took it out hiking one more day. Added a white cap which seemed to help balance things...
Hiking out at Wahweap Bay, Utah at the Coves.

the white kilt works with the tie dyed shiret very very well - probably better than any colored kilt might ... i vote for leaving it white & enjoying it as is!!!!
ITS A KILT, G** D*** IT!

Ron, I am jealous. You have the second most kilts of anyone I even know of, you routinely hike some of the worlds most beautiful landscapes, and you get to wear your kilts to work.
You sir, have the life.

Thanks Yaish,
What a nice way to start the week, with a reality check like that...
Think I'm third or fourth in the kilt count though....
And, I have a lady supportive of my kilt wearing....
How bad can life be when my biggest problem is figuring out which kilt to wear to take the car in to the dealer for service this morning...

This may sound like a dumb question, but I only have traditional kilts.
Why is the Utilikilt "vegan?" I guess I'm just not understanding the word usage. The only definition I knew was someone who won't even eat renewable animal products like milk or eggs. I know that can't be the meaning here, so I'm just wondering.
I'm not trying to be silly or make fun of anything. I'm just being curious.

No leather is used; the standard Workman has leather tool straps.
The little flag looking thingie, here...
...and where the hammer is, here.

Oh! Did Utilikilts change things then? My Neutral Workman's has real leather hammer loops, etc, just as my caramel Workman's has.
At the first wash there was a hint of bleeding from the leather - soon dealt with by the careful application of dabs of domestic bleach - but not with subsequent washings,
