New Kilt and New Computer
Just a quick update for today.
The abruptness of the Seattle trip was insane. One minute we were heading there, then we were there, then we were leaving. I think we spent as much time packing and getting to and from the airport, which is hours from home and meant staying at hotels, as we did in Seattle.
Upon getting back home I did find my Blaklader work “kilt” at the post office. I’ll review it soon, including how much VAT (I thought mail order sales from the UK to the USA are not normally charged VAT?) and extra shipping I paid on it. I have not worn it yet, only tried it on. So far I can say that the pleats are very shallow, its more of a work skirt… but there are lots of pockets which I am sure will be nice when working on the cabin.
I also got a new computer, and have spent the past couple of days setting it up. I will use that as my excuse for not having blogged enough recently ![]()

Long have men been subject to the poor and limited choices offered by the Trouser Tyrants. Pants are dead! Long Live the Kilt!

Huh, that’s funny, I got a new computer several days ago as well.
Thanks a lot for your posts. And I thought you’d be perhaps interested to add this to “kilted humor” page.

I realize this is a bit late, but there is a company in NY that sells them as well. I ordered mine from The New Worker. They didn’t have it in stock, but all in all it only took about 10 days for it to arrive.
I’m curious to know what you think of it though! It’s been too chilly to wear it (that said, I am wearing a denim UK today) but I’ll give it a try soon. Maybe even tomorrow.
