    Utilikilt Deal, But is it Real?

    I ordered a used Utilikilt on E-Bay last week, and it just arrived. It looks and fits great!

    Looking at it a little closer, I wonder if it is the real deal, or a good counterfeit. I already own a couple Utilikilts, so I am somewhat familiar with them. It may be an old and/or experimental style that I am not quite familiar with.
    Note the:
    1). Old style 6 button apron with the floating waist
    2). Serged hem instead of sewn (see arrow in attached picture)
    3). Extra bit of sewing in the center back (circled in the attached picture)
    4). Feels like 100% cotton, not the usual 65%/35% Poly/Cotton

    The logos and tags all seem right, so it otherwise really does seem to be the real thing.

    So, did I get a good deal, or was I (and Utilikilt) taken?
