Idling through the latest equipment catalogue of Swedish industrial clothing firm Blåkläder, The Ranger was delighted to find a hi-viz kilt:
No, it’s deadly serious. Features include:
- Two loose nail pockets, can be placed in the front bellow pockets
- Two back pockets with bellows
- Rule pocket with pen pocket and knife-holder
- Hammer loop
- Leg pocket with telephone pocket
- Certified according to EU standard EN 471 cl 2, high-visibility warning clothing
It’s not that he fancies wearing one, you understand. But, like Radio 3, it’s just comforting to know it’s there. (Thanks to David Harris via UKTC)
We have sold quite a few and they do a sensible version in black!!!!

I had such a laugh when I seen the hi-vis kilt, got to be one of the strangest hi vis items ever.
Quality many thanks
But what should a Scottish builder wear under his hi-viz kilt?
The Ranger responds: the answer, from a real Scot, can be found here.
Do they do a matching hi-vis sporran I wonder?
