    Talking Utilikilts

    Does anyone on here wear a Utilikilt? I have a Ultilikilt Original that is black. I've had it for about 3 years now, and I have no complaints! Very good quality workmanship put into them, and moderately priced! Go to Utilikilt for their web site and great pics of all of their designs. For a modern kilt? They are top notch! They're based in Seattle, Washington, but, they are at alot of the Celtic fests that I've been to, especially the "Richmond Highland Games And Celtic Festival" held annually in late October. They have a very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful staff at each event. My next Utilikilt is the Workmans model this year.

    I have a black Original that I ordered last year when I was at the UK headquarters in Seattle. Pretty cool kilt, although I tend to wear my tartan kilts more often. Check my website for pics.

    COOL! Another UK wearer! I am in the market for a traditional kilt in my clans colors, that won't "break the bank." Seriously considering Celtic Croft.

    AH! Excellent choice! Great pics! That is the very same UK that I am gonna buy! Same model, same color! And a fellow culinary artist, to boot! I don't consider myself a "CHEF", by far! But, I have cooked in American style "country, homestyle" kitchens my family has owned, throughout my life from the age of 16. I've "slung" quite a few beers and pints behind the bar, also.

    Slainte!

    Hi Matt, and welcome.

    I think you'll find that everyone here knows about Utilikilts, even if they do not wear them themselves.

    Personally, I have eleven of them (most of which can be seen in my photo album - link below). I understand I was probably their first client in The United Kingdom, back in early 2000, and I feature on their website as "Extreme Hamish".

    Loyal as I am to Utilikilts and its founder, Steven Villegas (he personally made my very first Workman's UK), I have to admit that I'm not very keen on some of their more recent creations - that ghastly silky, satin 'thing', for example!

    Ham,

    As we say in Texas, ya got more kilts than ya can shake a stick at!!

    I really enjoyed your album. I was wondering if your album is in chronological order ... it seemed your kilts got longer the deeper into the album I went.

    I wear my kilts above my knees, an inch or two ... they just seem to be more comfortable and much cooler, but they are also shorter than most fellows wear them on here. Basically I order all my kilts 20 inches long. When working and hiking in SportKilts I often roll down the waste so the kilt is 18 inches long.

    What is your opinion on kilt length? Have you purchased longer kilts more recently? If so, why?

    All the Best,

    Chris Webb
