If you fancy clothing with plenty of pockets and pouches to put your tools and gadgets in, Blaklader has your back, or rather your arse covered. This kilt is initially designed for the working Scotsman with pouches for hammers, nails, screws, things of that nature, so essentially it’s a wearable utility belt.
I want one, really bad, and if I could have found one in my size, I would have ordered it in a heartbeat and taken pics for the lot of you once it arrives, but alas they don’t make then in my size so that’s a no go. But this article has piqued my interest in kilts. There are over 10 pockets in all on this quilt as well as some loops for hammers and other tools, so you would have plenty of space if you really wanted it.
It’s made out of 100% cotton which should keep things cool in the summer and warm in the winter. If you want one, and if they make them in your size, they cost 50 pounds or about $100, and I’d totally pay it if they had one in my size.

When I visited Gen Con last year, they had a ton of these. Apparently kilts are starting to become quite popular with the gamers. I’m still on the fence myself.

They look great!. Would really like to get one but I have not found a way to buy one on line. Saw the original news story on Jan. 31. I have emailed Blaklader for a catalog, that might have some info on ordering.

These seem to be another variety of the original (American made) Utilikilts brand Utility kilt. Found at http://Utilikilts.com.
NeutralThe more brands to free us from ‘trouser tyranny’ the better!

Oh sure, then we can move from ‘trouser tyranny’ into ‘kilt chaos’! I propose a middle ground and we all just wear shorts, which are a lot like kilts, but not quite as drafty.

Well guys, ther are a few places where you now can buy this kilt.
NeutralThe sizes they have are from 30″ to 44″.
Price is 129.95. It’s one bad ass kilt. If you can call it that…
There are a few online store who have it. They are made by Swedish BLAKLADER.
You can look it up at: http://www.nordicworker.com.
They carry it under SPECIALTY PRODUCTS, yeah, they should…

At a glance. I’d say this product is nowhere near the calibre of some of the offerings by Freedom Kilts or AlphaKilts. If you want pockets AND style, and exceptional quality, those are the brands I would recommend. My AlphaKilt is as close to flawless as I’ve seen in a casual kilt. The Blaklader has a kind of grungy look, which perhaps has its own appeal, but I would hardly call it a kilt.
