    the white kilt works with the tie dyed shiret very very well - probably better than any colored kilt might ... i vote for leaving it white & enjoying it as is!!!!

    Ron, I am jealous. You have the second most kilts of anyone I even know of, you routinely hike some of the worlds most beautiful landscapes, and you get to wear your kilts to work.

    You sir, have the life.

    Thanks Yaish,

    What a nice way to start the week, with a reality check like that...

    Think I'm third or fourth in the kilt count though....

    And, I have a lady supportive of my kilt wearing....

    How bad can life be when my biggest problem is figuring out which kilt to wear to take the car in to the dealer for service this morning...

    This may sound like a dumb question, but I only have traditional kilts.

    Why is the Utilikilt "vegan?" I guess I'm just not understanding the word usage. The only definition I knew was someone who won't even eat renewable animal products like milk or eggs. I know that can't be the meaning here, so I'm just wondering.

    I'm not trying to be silly or make fun of anything. I'm just being curious.

    No leather is used; the standard Workman has leather tool straps.

    The little flag looking thingie, here...



    ...and where the hammer is, here.

    Oh! Did Utilikilts change things then? My Neutral Workman's has real leather hammer loops, etc, just as my caramel Workman's has.

    At the first wash there was a hint of bleeding from the leather - soon dealt with by the careful application of dabs of domestic bleach - but not with subsequent washings,

    Aye Ham,

    Think UK offered a white workmans with a cloth hammer strap for the folks who wouldn't wear leather...think the leather bled worses to the white too. I know I'm already removing leather stains just from my belts.

    The one they had on scratch and dent happened to be a cloth strap one....I ain't picky, just wanted the white before it disappeared and grabbed it.
