    Alphakilts

    Just got a new model kilt from Alphakilts.com

    It's a beautiful! I don't have a chance to get it on today, but here are some pics of it out of the box. Pics of it being worn to come:

    Here is a front view...


    and a side view...


    and a back view...


    and here is the pleat depth...


    and a picture of the embroidered pocket logo...


    and here is the secret inner pocket (shhh)...


    and this shows that the pleat continue all the way around - here is the inside of the inner apron...


    and the inside of the outer apron...


    and finally, here is the cargo pocket...


    which is removeable!



    As I said - it is extremely well made, and photos of me wearing it to come.

    Hmmm, I'll look into those guys. Let us know how it does once you wear it around a bit.
    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

    I'm saving up for my first contemporary kilt. I've been trying to decide between an Amerikilt or a Utilikilt, but that looks really nice! I'd love to hear a review when you get a chance.

    Yup...box pleats. The ones on their website are currently knife-pleated models. I was able to get on as a product tester for their new box-pleated model. Very sturdy and extremely well made. I would put this as an equivalent to Utilikilts.

    Would be interested in a Denim, but am a bit hesitant after my eternally crumpled Amerikilt pleats!
    Wear it for a few days, then please give us a review. In and out of a car, seated in front of TV. etc. How do the pleats and general hang hold up?

    Interesting. They certainly think positively though. How many kilts come with "Condom Pockets"?
