Dang, by the time my plastic cools off it'll be summer....we'll see though.

Thought they'd use the Mocker pattern, more preppy...

That was my original thought too. But I'm happy that it isn't and has more of the cargo look to it. The only three colors they have right now are the tan, a bright red and a deep blue, almost sky blue like. I could totally do something like a chocolate brown, or even a forest green.

I'll probably be wearing it out to a concert on Friday and the club is quite smokie, so the first washing should happen this weekend. I'll keep all posted.

Saw the red at the shop a few days ago. May have to order one once my tan survival is sold. Kinda like it, actually. Was veering away from the UK's, but that is one kilt I will have to get. A red cord original.

A forest green corduroy UK would be great and if they did do them in a mocker I'd buy them all. I'm not too big on the red design though maybe it's because I'm so fair skinned that bright reds like that only make me look paler than I actually man....I have the Workman's in chocolate brown and I like that one as well. The only one I don't wear very much is the camouflage original but I got it for VERY cheap and they don't make it anymore so I can't complain.

When I saw "corduroy" in the thread title, I gut reaction was "eew". I saw the AK cord, and didn't like it. However, this one looks awesome.

Yep, this one will get added to my wish list. I like that color too, and I agree a chocolate brown or deep forest green would be sharp. I cannot imagine red however. I wonder how those will sell.

I assume this one costs more than the standard Original UK; how much was it?

OT: I see the baby gate in the picture, is that for kids and/or pets? My wife and I bought a baby gate before we had any kids to keep our dog from getting into trouble when she was a puppy. Not that it kept her from getting into trouble, but at least we could control *where* the trouble was.

The cord is the same price as the regular original, $125.

And the gate is indeed for the pets. 2 pugs. One is about 1.5yrs, the other is only 6months. Though we can pretty much trust the 1.5yr old, the 6month old is a different matter! LOL.

Have you had a chance to wash your's yet? Just curious on how you dried (hand, laying flat) and if you ironed or not (if you even can iron it). Thanks.

Hey KT, believe it or not...I get my UKs dry cleaned

For some reason I don't trust putting them into a washing machine evne though I know you can do it....I don't get to wear them that much right now (especially with 27 inches of snow on the ground). I definitely iron all of my kilts and the corduroy I'd probably use a light heat/steam...

I amsurprised to read, that corduroy is suich a favorite.

The frst 'kilt' I made was from very wide pair of corduroy trousers (using the ready made waist-band for solidity, and the extra material from the lower half of the legs to give scope for pleats).
I was pleased with the result, it hung quite well, but the aprons would not drop into place after standing up; the corduroy prevented the cloth form sliding smoothely, and it always remained askew.

This does not happen at all with good woolen worsted, and only slightly with other stiff cotton.
