5.11 TDK is back

Just got an email from 5.11

Can anyone give advice as to the length of the kilt and where to measure for the waist?

[Clay Weaver]

They pretty much fit like 5.11 pants. I used the 5.11 pants size I wear, and it worked fine.

Unfortunately, their sales page does not offer assorted lengths. I'm also surprised that they do not mention the length of the "one length fits all garment." (At least I didn't see it. But, it's been a long week.)

I'm ready to order a second utility kilt - so I'll be going back to AmeriKilt. There I can order by waist size and length. I have this one (Black): http://www.amerikilt.com/shop/amerikilts/black-2/ - available in 15 waist sizes (measured at jeans waist) and three lengths. The best part is that my wife wants me to order the olive version and then the saffron one. Who am I to argue, eh?

I just ordered two. One in Battle Brown and one in Black.

They went up by $20, didn't they?

How badly do they wrinkle when you sit down? I have a utility kilt that wrinkles horribly when I sit down, though in my case I'm getting what I paid for.

Just ordered a Multicam; 'have khaki, OD, "coyote" from previous years (2012 and 13).

THEY ARE OUT OF THE KILT T-SHIRT IN XL ALREADY!? Wuzzup wif dat noize?

Oh, wait, it must be; tactical kilts are hip (yay) and trendy (boo).

In this opinion, the 5.11 TDK is THE best cheap non-tartan beat em' up kilt on the market.

As an astute observer stated earlier, the 5.11 TDK replaces for most reasonable weather, cargo pants and shorts.

Nick, I haven't had any real wrinkle issues with my TDKs. But I am in the habit of sweeping pleats. These poly cotton blends are quite good and not getting wrinkles or pleat edge curls. It doesn't seem to matter whether hang dried or machine dried (lowest heat).

I'll measure total length of the one I got last year when I get home.
