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.

I've lost count of the number of times I've washed my Workmans and the leather has never bled.

Thanks for the answers guys. That make's perfect sense to call a kilt made specially leather-free to be called a "vegan." Very neat.
As always, I always learn something new on XMarks.

Kilted While Fencing
I really like the looks of this kilt. I enjoy fencing Olympic style, and I think it would go really well with my barely off white fencing jacket, and white fencing hose. It looks thick enough to take a strong poke.
