'Working' Kilt

[Mr. MacDougall]

R Kilts makes kilts in denim and hemp reasonably inexpensively, and they're made to measure... an advantage, in my book, over Utilikilt's off-the-peg approach. Also, Freedom Kilts makes some nice work kilts in heavy weight fabrics, including some stuff that is from the same mill as Carhardt's fabrics.

RKilts also offer kilt aprons. The Black Watch often wore canvas overaprons as late as WWI.

3 good options I think:

-A really cheap kilt:
Advantage: because they're cheap you won't burst into tears when the kilt get dirty or even damaged.
Downside: the fabric can be flimsy, kilt not always well made.

-A sturdy work kilt (UK, FK, R-Kilt etc.):
Advantage: Sturdy, well made, handy pockets, made for the job.
Downside: uhm....none?

-A kilt apron (WPG, R-Kilts):
Advantage: cheap, can wear any kilt underneath, takes 1 minute to put on/off.
Downside: still be careful what you do.
