  Never crossed my mind about the midges

[Donald]

Hello,


So the kilt I've got is not Scottish and it really is an adaptation  meant to be a work garment. It's from Bläklader, which make work clothes. I got the idea in my craw this summer up there in Sweden, driving through a section of the road that was under construction and one of the road crew had his on - a florescent, reflective model. Yes, it is breezy but even though it's cold out and I'm at work in the unheated barn, I don't experience it as being cold for the most part. That picture is just a blown-up version of a very small one so that's why the distortion but it's the only one I have now.


Greetings,

A florescent reflective kilt, that has to be a first on here      but what a great idea! they're good a that sort of thing the Swedes.
I would think going over hurdles would be easier too, my hubby has ripped the crotch out of every pair of work trousers he has.

Feldar,
You will need to buy him a kilt for christmas then

Going over hurdles. Bulls-eye. I think that's the essence of what it's about, lack of restriction. And I'm waiting to try it out shingling up on the roof later on this year. I think that's when the true appreciation will come.


Doesn't seem to be anyone else willing to pipe in who's using a kilt. 'cept for maybe this fellow.


And that's the first time ever using one of those midget figures for me - and the last.

Appreciation when you're up there on the roof eh?    Is that from sheep below? 
 
If they're so unrestrictive in the hurdles event, wonder why we ladies wear breeks.
 
And I'd like to see how well a flourescent lookalike would go down here with Scottish roadworkers!

Up on the roof we're not concerned with what or who's down below.
I thought that little figure was wearing one of these berets with the pompom on top like they wear in Scotland, chewing on a stock of wheat,  but now at a second look can see it's a head with a hot water bottle balancing up there and thermometer under its tong - oh boy. See, I'm so unskilled at making messages including little expressive figures to convey sentiment.
And I'm still milling over how far I want to go now with any deeper revelations concerning kilt wearing etiquette.

yes, don't think I'll need more than one ball of wool do you - and would pink be the right colour for the nearly nude look Sally

have you got any barbed wire fencing...... 

[Donald]

Hello,


With unrestricted freedom of movement even nasty barbed wire doesn't intimidate me.

Donald you sound like a mans man

In a skirt, no less.

wasn't worried about it intimidating you, just ripping your delicate places to shreds 

[Donald]

As with all men's men when approaching barbed wire with thought of an imminent crossing and armed with the knowledge that as a kilt wearer I'll suffer no restriction in my effort to clear the pricks without hinderance or risk of a snag there, wire fences, without barb or well barbed, are not a concern.
