Hello,


In the "Equipment" register, it might be rightly queried. Still, clothes do facilitate the necessary work. It could just as easily go over footwear or good gloves or braces... I don't know. Well I've just had a kilt for the first time and am getting used to the whole thing. It sure makes slipping on the rubber boots simple. No more jamming the pant legs down there. Does anyone else use them?


Greetings,


Don Wagstaff

Dan bought a kilt recently - he looks fab in it but I'd kill him if I caught him wearing it round the smallholding. If he wants one for working, he'll need to get a second best one  ;D

Sure thing...

It's for work, from a Swedish firm, got a lot of pockets and pouches all over the place.

Donald, don't your knees get cold?
I can understand it being easier to remove wellies but other than that I would have thought the kilt more awkward.
I wear leggins most of the time simply because it so much easier to get boots on and off. As they fit tightly on the legs there is no material to fold when getting boots on.

Dan says it's really warm. And anyway, can you imagine a bloke in leggings?  :roflanim:

The Kilt looks great.   I tend to find its the fatty bit on your thighs and bum that gets cold, so a kilt is ideal to cover that bit.
 
As to trews I always wear an extra pair of socks over the ends of mine just to ease boot getting on. I tend to struggle with the calf size of ALL boots so tucking the jogging bottem legs in carfully first works well.

Needless to say, men look very good in kilts  :love: but I doubt many, if any women on here actually wear a skirt to work in or even very often....the current trend for leggings and long jumpers has even reached me, not worn a skirt for ages!!!...although I often think if a lady needs a wee wee in the wood a skirt would be far more dignified!!
 
Nice on Donald....can we have another piccie PLEASE?

7 yards or so of woollen fabric wrapped round your bum and legs, pleated to trap air .....sounds quite warm really when you think about it that way. But then I do long for the Edwardian style skirts, complete with layers of petticoats and a pinny to come back into fashion..those had to be warmer than cold denims...

Big question is ......(drumroll).....what are you wearing under yer kilt Donal' ? and don't polish those wellies or everyone might see.
 
Friends wee boy was wearing pampers under his (he's 2) but we though that would be quite cosy thermal insulation.  Just a suggestion Donald  ;)  Knitted pants may also be attractive (sure someone must have some nice freshly spun rare breed fleece for you there).

Your picture is a bit fuzzy by the way - it looks like you are walking at speed behind some school benches to me or it could be the head of a giant turkey - is that you Donal' ?

Don't you think this might be just a bit itchy in the nether regions?
