Hi Vis Kilt

Hard to tell for sure whether the sett is MacDaighlough or MacLoud, but I'm sure it's one of those.

I notice on the website that the kilt is in their "shorts" section. Perhaps someone should reassure the Royal Troon golf club that they were right after all.

Me too!

It's my go-to kilt when there's heavy work to be done that doesn't involve climbing in and out of the tractor cab. Work all day at 36C and, well, you'll sweat buckets but it'll evaporate in the 15% humidity we had around here this summer.

One thing I like/hate is the way the pleats are sewn out completely open. I like it in the warm months when the wind goes freely up under. I hate it in the cold months when the wind goes freely up under. Even in a good breeze, though, it stays down -- which is more than I can say for a couple of my UKs.

It's sure not Burns Night material, but I declare it makes me nimble in the chute when I have to tackle a ewe making a break for freedom. The neighbours don't even bat an eye anymore.

Here's an actual tartan with a reflective thread woven in

What?!?!?!?!? I'm sure if Burns were still around, even he would be able to write a few lines about such a glowing fabric!!!

I think a MacDaighlough kilt would be a perfect gift for a lineman or construction worker. Not only safty colored but think of the convience of never having to answer The Question.

Hamish in his Blackadder Daighglough, busting bricks night and day at the Grange.

I am a volunteer Firefighter and I just thought of using it during traffic accidents as we are suppossed to wear hi-vis clothing.

You got me thinking, I wonder if I could get my command to approve it in place of BDU pants if I ever have to work a helicopter LZ on deployment. We are supposed to bring something hi-vis for this type of duty... Currently, I simply carry hi vis work gloves.
