Ebay kilt from UT Kilts

**scotswelshrunner** · 30th March 13, 07:14 PM

I wanted a second kilt for work and play that didn't set me back too much. So I checked all the sites here and then ebay. Although the kilts listed here are wonderful,they were all outside my budget. I found this 8 yard,Black Watch kilt from UT Kilts on Ebay. While the pleats are not sewn all the way down, this kilt is very much worth the price I paid of $45. It has three buckles and is heavy acrylic. Yeah, I know...it is not a wool kilt nor is it the cat's pajamas but then again at the ptice paid, I thought it a good buy. Maybe made over in the Middle East?The tag says "designed" in Scotland but that is all.
Nonetheless, it is a good second kilt until my House of Edgar arrives next month.

Anyone else had dealings with this vendor or these kilts?

I have a khaki UTkilt that I bought second hand off a fellow Xmarker. It's perfect for what I bought it for, hiking and hanging out. I don't want to wear a kilt I've spent hundreds on for everyday use, so I agree with you that an inexpensive kilt has its place. That one looks good on you, I'd probably try to wear it just a little higher (I like my kilt at right about the top of my knees, even if it's an inch or two above my belly button) but that's just my style.

I usually do wear them a bit higher but hurriedly dressed to shoot this pic. :-) I was not sure what to expect with this kilt but am needing a few lower priced ones for work and running around. This is very nice.

I have a couple tartan kilts from UT, and for their price they are not bad. I use mine for daily wear kilts hanging around the house and running errands and even dress up pretty good. Granted they don't match Rocky's for tailoring and quality but they fill a niche.

In the pic where you are wearing the kilt I see indentations at the 2 nd Green horizontal stripe up. Is this where the kilt is sewn around the pleats ??.I would recommend you contact the seller, it looks that his idea of basting is a tight thread line holding the pleats in.

It was indeed the basting stitch. That has been removed and this pic shows me in the kilt today.

As for being a Pakistani kilt, no matter where it is made as for this price I really like the look and feel of this. Might buy another one.

The accessories offered by UT Kilts seem pretty nice, too (again, with the qualifier--for this end of kilts and accessories--no substitute for the higher quality, but decent placeholder materials). I especially liked their brass kilt belt buckles selection before most were sold out.

LOL Sasha!! That is my work place, THE only dedicated gluten-free store in the Portland area, Lingonberries. See you this Saturday on Tartan Day!! Not sure which kilt I shall wear though. With the weather forecast it is probably the Black Watch.
