I've been wearing this Kilt to work everyday for close to 2 months doing commercial Sheet metal ventilation. I love it. But it has flaws. Pretty significant ones.
The Good : POCKETS . So many pockets, and all of them are useful. Especially the flop out tool/screw pouch. Although I feel they should be made with a heavier denim, mine are already showing signs of wear and will likely need patching before long
It's cool, cooler than overalls in the summer anyway. The boys ventilate. That is all.
The Freedom of movement is phenomenal, I can move, squat and maneuver with ease, no more getting bogged down by heavy overalls
Tons of compliments on the Kilt too, everyone on sights thinks it's great
The bad: Sorry Blaklader
Thin, too thin. I managed to tear mine in 4 days, mind you I work with sheet metal but still. It should holdup better
Fits huge, I measured my waist to 33 1/2, so I bought the 34. I have to wear a belt and suspenders to keep it from sagging. Which leads to the next problem...
IT WON'T STAY FULLY SHUT!
The last button pops open constantly, and then the second to last bit pops, I swear it's like every 15 minutes, sometimes near instant. I make sure the thing is fully seated, and sure enough it flies back open. I have to put it back so often you can actually see how worn the hole is. I think it's because of the belt loops spacing being a little odd. The kilt doesn't have the support where it needs it
Oh and mine arrived with the tools holder straps(?) Missing from the front pocket, just straight up not there, missed by QC.
and to top it all off my hammer dumps right out of the hammer loop.
So at the end of it all, I'm going to keep wearing the kilt. I'll just have the missus adress the issues herself. But c'mon Blaklader you can do better. If you want to talk to a guy that wears this thing everyday my ears are open
