What the best dressed workman will wear

Can anyone tell me the length of the Blaklader kilts? From the few pics available, they look rather long, but I'm very tempted by the white all-cotton one.
I could not find any prices on the web site either.

The two kilts I mentioned in my post above are both 24" long. Price wise, from memory, I think they were both about £50 - £55 when I brought them.

The website seems to be just a brochure, and presumably if you want to buy something you have to contact a retailer. A bit odd these days, but if the service you get from the retailers is excellent, maybe that is this company's way of making sure they have happy customers. But not telling you the prices is just annoying! Frankly, it would put me off.

On the plus side, I like it that the kilts are just presented among the other clothes as ordinary items of menswear.

BTW, the women's section has no skirts, so skirts are for men only!

Thanks for the info.
A decent price compared with so any other utility kilts, but 24 inch would be too long for me.

There's a lot to be said for a good sharp pair of scissors, Martin!

Perhaps even better than just scissors : I've just bought a new sewing machine reduced to ... 39 € ! It even seems to be working, so maybe I be able to turn up the hem if and when I find out where the nearest Blaklader retailer is. I sent a mail to ask if they had outlets in France or Spain.

Found a couple of shots of the painted dress. Did quite a bit of painting on the roof etc in it, but it turned out so goodly painted that I embellished more and have kept it the same.
Also dug up a shot at the transformer winder in the good ole work dress.
