Swedish Work Kilt
YES! A Swedish kilt! I love it!
As strange as it may seem, a workman’s kilt by the Swedish company Blaklader Workwear, has become a huge hit in Sweden and Europe selling over 5,000 kilts. It was even named product of the year by the Swedish Textile and Clothing Association. The kilt has been such a hit that the company is now introducing it in the UK. It is availible from online retailer Active Workwear , who appear to deliver worldwide, contact them via email to order outside of the UK mainland.
According to The Sunday Mail, the kilt was designed by Gothenburg university student Marcus Jahnke. It features two nail pockets, a hammer loop, and various utility pockets. It is made from 100% cotton and retails for £44.75, about $87.00 US, which is less than half the price of the Utilikilts Workman Kilt.
It looks a little odd, with pockets at the top of the apron, but I simply must get one. Just “to review it” for my blog, of course 
Long have men been subject to the poor and limited choices offered by the Trouser Tyrants. Pants are dead! Long Live the Kilt!

[…] I have a pretty liberal definition of what is a kilt . And I should be clear up front, that the Blaklader Swedish Work “Kilt” doesn’t fit even my criteria. I suppose that it is a man’s work skirt, and perhaps a […]
