Last year I spent the money to buy a Utilikilt Workman's. Like the idiot they said I was being, I bought it too small and hoped I would fit into it. I won't, likely ever.

I am a teacher and on the weekends and in the summer a "roadie" or stagehand. I want the toughness of a Utilikilt, but the comfort of shorts. I would also like to wear the kilt doing manly things like mowing the lawn, visiting my local hardware store and even going out for a brew with my lass.

I am a big fella (48-50" waist) and don't want to look oafish. Any advice as to what i should buy? $300 for a kilt is out of my budget. Thanks for considering my request for advice.
