[TheForge] Blacksmiths and UtiliKilts

[Daniel Crowther]

I was just reading the California Blacksmiths' Assn newsletter (one of the 
benefits of being part of the newsletter exchange program), and I noticed 
they had a demonstrator there who wore a Utilikilt; they said they didn't 
make too many "skirt" jokes.  Now, at the 2004 ABANA Conference I met at 
least 4 guys (myself included) wearing a Utilikilt.

So, how many other blacksmiths out there have a Utilikilt?  Do you use the 
hammer loop?  I really like the pencil pockets to store a prick punch or 
cold chisel.

Also, since the 2006 ABANA Conference is in Seattle I'll probably be 
picking up another Kilt or 2; after all, Utilikilt has their one and only 
store front in Seattle.

For those who aren't familiar with Utilikilt you can check them out here:
