Best Kilt for Farm work

[Canuck]

Hemp!

UK workmans (chocolate brown) is my choice for all yardwork and construction. Havn't farmed in it, but imagine it would work well. Privacy snaps are great feature, plus large pockets and tool hangers. Who needs a tool belt anymore? Got mine in a "long" length for additional inches of modesty when bending and lifting. Plus when dirty, just throw it in the washer.

I was thinking UK Workman as well. The sub-divided cargo pockets could be handy for carrying various tools without them all falling to the bottom of on large pocket. The Carhart material should be virtually indestructible.

I echo Jocks warning though about farm equipment if you will be around that sort of machinery.

I agree with Jock on the farm machinery etc. I have known many, many farmers with missing limbs etc. You don't want your loose, flowing pleats getting caught in the wood chipper, for example.

Definately take to heart what Jock Scot has stated. Be careful ! I know all to well what he speaks of. On my Mums side, they had a Farm (over 165 acres +) and that farm equipment can do a number on a person even when careful.

Thank you all for the valuable advice! My little farm is pretty small, I just plan to do a garden and maybe some chickens this year. Eventually I want to add some dairy goats and have eggs and cheese. No heavy equipment here! If I do start to plant the fields, I will probably try to do it with a draft horse, the old fashioned way.

Well, good luck with this; it's good to hear of others starting small farms. They have zoned my area out of having live stock or I would have one of those minature nanny goats. Don't forget that your life is now centered around making compost.

I mostly have hand powered equipment too. Hang in there and I hope you do real well.

OFCJAX was making a type of work related kilt (you choose the materials, whether you need an apron, or pockets, etc.) I would suggest sending him a PM and see if he can be of assistance.

If you're not using powered equipment, then, if you feel like buying something, go with a utilikilt original. Tough and functional, it's a sure bet. My brother wears one when he goes into green thumb mode, and loves it.

The denim number mentioned earlier would also be a fine choice.

Just my $.02

Timber,

My Brother in Law lives up in Mason County and raises Belgians for draft use. He is very active in the Draft Horse community and is at many of the events. If you wish, I can put the two of you together.
