    I wear my DNKE Highlander (chosen due to cotton material and detachable pockets) at my natural waist, too. Far more comfortable that way for me.

    But, yeah, when I'm wearing it, I'm usually doing some grubby in it and do not get anywhere near traditional kiltwear. I certainly wouldn't want to weld in a nice kilt. Can't say I'd recommend doing it in a utility kilt, either, but I've done it. That's why I wanted cotton - so I can grubby work without worrying about melting it into my skin. I sure wouldn't want to disassemble an engine in a nice kilt, but the anti-seize that got on my utility sporran when I did that doesn't much bother me. Got paint on my utility kilt, and it wouldn't wash out, so I let it dry and colored it in with a blue Sharpie. The utility kilt just works as a comfortable alternative for when I would otherwise have to wear blue jeans or shorts. Whether you want to call it a utility kilt or one-legged shorts, it's still more comfortable than jeans.
