New Blaklader!

Glad to know someone else on here has bought a Blaklader. I thought my black one and Hamish's hi-vis were the only two bought by x-markers. The Blaklader kilt will certainly turn a few heads in the shopping mall!

I should have combined all the replies into one post. Mea culpa. OK, I'm over it.

It's interesting to put it up against a UK Workman. The fabric is a little lighter, and there are no "Modesty Snaps." The pocket scheme is a little different. Four big pockets right in front, where they will serve to hold the apron down a bit. The aprons are very wide, hence will not need either a kilt pin or a modification with a snap. (I'm aware a snap breaks Rule Number One!)

I've been thinking about some industrial-looking kilt pins. No specific ideas yet, but I'm getting a "let's bend some metal and make sparks" jones. They'd be good fits with this thing.

:ootd:

Take care,
