Have you though about the Jonesing period? If Utilikilts have the colour and the size that you desire, you can have it in 2 weeks.

Pittsburgh Kilts are Freedom Kilts are made to order, and the Jonesing period may be longer.

That being said, I have 3 Utilikilts and have seen the Freedom Kilts at a Crafs Fair last December.

Freedom Kilts are very well made and they are heavy. You can definately feel the weight on those babies.

Utilikilts are designed and made different. The Front Apron is not as wide as the Pittsburgh or Freedom kilts, and they definately give you a more comteporary look to it. I definately dig those snap buttons and I don't have any problems. The snap buttons problem is exclusively to the Survival Model.
