Ham,

As we say in Texas, ya got more kilts than ya can shake a stick at!!

I really enjoyed your album. I was wondering if your album is in chronological order ... it seemed your kilts got longer the deeper into the album I went.

I wear my kilts above my knees, an inch or two ... they just seem to be more comfortable and much cooler, but they are also shorter than most fellows wear them on here. Basically I order all my kilts 20 inches long. When working and hiking in SportKilts I often roll down the waste so the kilt is 18 inches long.

What is your opinion on kilt length? Have you purchased longer kilts more recently? If so, why?

All the Best,

Chris Webb

Hey Chris. No, the pics aren't in chronological order. The pic looks like it is longer because of the sword I have hanginging in my belt. It weighs my kilt down. That's why I am in the market for a baldric to go on my back.

I'v got more UKs than traditionals, but I find myself wearing the UKs less and less. :confused:

Think I have 14 UKs and a UK kilt windchime now. Pics in my gallery if it helps you make a buying decision. Its all good.

I wear UKs to work (therapist) most of the time. I like the pockets so there's no sporran in my lap since I sit for a living. Also the narrow apron drops into place automatically when sitting so I don't need to worry much about how I'm seated.

I'm with Ham, no interest in the one that looks like boxing trunks. Don't have the cord kilts yet either...just seems too Back East for the canyonlands.

Maybe someday there'll be a denim survival....puleeeze....

Highlandcelt... I have a couple UtiliKilts and they are (without a doubt) the most durable kilt made. With all the options that you can get, they're also the most versatile! To me, there's nothing out there that even compares. Plus, the owner is one hell of a guy.

I know that Ron owns half of the UtiliKilts stock, and he's a great source to go to in the event that you need "break-in" or care advise.

As for your choice of UtiliKilts... that just shows your smarts!

Highlandcelt,

I have 2 UKs (Mocker and Survival) and love them both.

Welcome to the addiction of kiltdom
Cheers

Every company has its culture. If you wanna get a feel for Utilikilts culture go to their website and read their old newsletters and check their gallery.

The UK culture is FAR from traditional. If you love the edge of the envelope, if you have a pair, you'll enjoy the newsletters and gallery.

FREEDOM!

Hi Chris,
The first few pages are probably not in strict chronological order since I had some of the kilts before I began the album. However, the general idea is that I add new photos as new kilts come along - and I always date them now.

I wear my kilts above my knees, an inch or two ... they just seem to be more comfortable and much cooler, but they are also shorter than most fellows wear them on here.

I don't really have much of an opinion on kilt length. Much depends upon the style of kilt. I guess though that I am now wearing my traditional kilts a shade longer than I did, say 20 years ago - at the age of 70, I just feel it is more 'seemly'! On the whole, I still wear them just at the top of the knee-cap. Camera angles can lengthen or shorten the kilt too!
