G'day to the kind crew who responded ..Very pleased you did..Just to clarify I'm a bit of a rare thing perhaps with kilts . I absolutely love them but I don't wear them a lot . And now I have quite a few .. Only one 8 yarder wool kilt in Royal Stewart..Its really heavy and I do like it but worn it once .. I prefer the 5 yard ones and own about seven now .. I began obtaining utility kilts about 7-8 years ago now and I go hiking / bushwalking mostly in them .I think all up I have about 10 in different styles in cotton drill , denim and khaki ..Very practical with pockets and belt clips ,way way better than shorts ..
A while back I found a black leather kilt you'd classify as a utility kilt /..Pockets etc too . It was very cheap from Pakistan . I bought one .. Not great quality by any means , the cowhide leather was a bit stiff (not so much now) but so much fun to wear .. Mine is only 20"but worn on the hip , not on the waist like a traditional kilt so 24" choice would have been too long for me (I'm only 171cm) ..Liked it so much I ended up buying the new one from the U.K. very recently ...It's awesome ..It's very supple , beautifully made it seems and brown ..Has additional pockets and provision for a belt . Price was amazing and the company couldn't be more helpful .. A joy from go to whoa ..
I'm not an absolute newcomer to X Marks The Scot (joined about a year or so ago) but haven't been a regular contributor for a while .,. That will change as just beginning four wonderful months off work with lots of Long Service Leave due that I have to take..Once I go back I'm only going to be part time from 6 am to 10.am so from now on my kilt wearing opportunities is going to be huge ... Once again , thanks for your kind responses..
