In Germany, a brewery chose the kilt as a uniform for its male staff.

Very hot summer, cold beer and the driver of beer comes in plaid skirt: The brewery Welde of Schwetzinger introduced the kilt as a uniform and drivers are involved with pleasure.

It is originally an idea of beer deliveryman. He proposed it to other employees, and the youngers persuaded the olders. This does not concern only production but also the offices. Moreover, there is no constraint, it does not come from above, so no reverse discrimination, and especially the argument that prevailed was the heat of summer, in a cab truck without air-conditioned. In the film we see the driver Robert Clark wearing a kilt and the operator wearing trousers.

Jupe-Skirt's comments :

This is one of the initiatives that will contribute on its way to the coming back of the skirt in menswear. Moreover, the staff had the choice between pants and skirts, a freedom that usualy men don't have.
