Sturdy skirt a hit with Swedish workmen

Mechanics, carpenters and plumbers who have tough physical jobs need strong, functional clothing. But that doesn't mean they have to wear boring, old-fashioned overalls that their grandfathers might have worn. A kilt for professional men recently introduced in Sweden features roomy pockets needed to carry necessary tools and allows the worker to make a striking fashion statement at the same time.

There's a Washington company called Utility Kilts that does the same thing.
My friend has some. (He's just Scottish not Trans.)

I think they're fun.

What a nice idea.

His even have a "modesty flap" for going up ladders and such.

Every guy should get to know what it feels like to know some arse is trying a look up your skirt as you go up the stairs.

LOL, yeah, around Dragon*Con time down here in Atlanta (usually over American Labor Day Weekend) the city swarms with guys in Utility Kilts.
