Or you could take an old pair of overalls, split the inseam, and start sewing pieces of old pants legs and so on together. Make an overall kilt one pleat at a time, LOL!

That's not too far off, in function, from wearing a full tool apron with a kilt though.

Just a bunch of earthy gardening thoughts.

Now here is England suspenders are what the ladies use to hold up their stockings (pre universal trousers era), so this conjours up an interesting sort of image! ;-)

Kilting in the garden? I have been doing this for years. I bought a cheap all black kilt from eBay that I can put through the washer when it gets muddy. It also doesn't matter too much if it gets attacked by prickles, etc. Like others I use a foam kneeling pad, but I'd need to do that whatever I wore. Pair of wellingtons and a T shirt and I'm set.

[As our back garden is totally secluded, then when it gets really hot, off comes the kilt and all. Now that's really gardening! (Cold beer to hand in the garage). But that's another tale altogether]

There really no where a kilt cannae go!

Here's a pic of me in my "beater" black canvas kilt I made.
