Utilikilt's new business model.

[escherblacksmith]

For the record, you can still get any length and a beer gut cut option. Assuming it ever gets back in stock.

Unfortunately for me, I suspect the larger sizes will be the last to arrive. Ah well, I had always planned for plaid one to be my next one anyway. Although I am looking at the fine options with FK and USA. ;-)}

I am so very pleased with the fit and form of my UK's. I wear them as intended, by design. The way Steve builds them to be worn. My hips are nearly the narrow type, so it is imperative that I wear a belt to keep my kilt on. I'm confident that the snaps will hold my UK closed and frequently forget the belt. However, that's only on the couple that I got one size smaller. They fit snugly. Not supposed to be fitted snugly. I could wear suspenders. Although, I think that would be most challenging.
The business model I suppose is over my head since I'm in Seattle.

Generally, I've been disappointed with UK. Since they have gotten bigger they have been unwilling to come to the Spokane Highland Games. I've called a number of time and gotten all sorts of promises and no action. Although I'm currently wearing a UK, I'll not buy another one from them.

I was looking to buy a Utilikilt, but I've been told that the waist isn't adjustable at all now and I fluctuate an inch or two throughout the year.

I own seven UKs. I bought the first one six or seven years ago. I've lost over 20 pounds and several inches around the waist. I just cinch up my (new) belts tighter and my UKs still all fit.

I digress and confess: I think Renegade Kilts look great and are of fine quality. In fact, because of this thread I visited their website again and loved what I saw. I just e-mailed them for some details and was looking in my "Next Kilt Fund" account, ready to buy one.

But then I noticed they participate on a forum whose terms of agreement I find terribly repulsive and exclusionary.

There are many reasons to buy from someone, and I guess there are even more reasons not to want to sell to someone. They seem to be actively rejecting my business, so I won't be buying a kilt from them.

Edit: I realize it is unfair of me to comment when I have not yet brought the subject up with the folks at Renegade. Sorry to be so hot-headed.

[Panache]

I wish Steve and the good folks at Utilikilt good luck in spreading their fine kilts to more storefronts. I hope they can keep up production. I love my UK Mocker and always wanted to get a UK Workman's. But I have decided that I want something both a little more unique and to try and support the fine folks who support our site. I think a Freedom Kilt or Union kilt will be next up on my Kilt fund goal.

Cheers

Does anyone have one of those Renegade kilts?

I will soon have one and will post a review. I have held, examined, and worn one and found them to be well-made and comfortable. Alan even cuts out the pleats to make the waist fit better and more comfortably.

I have 2 Utilikilts and I enjoy wearing them. However, I enjoy wearing my tartan the most. Utilikilts serve their purpose.

By the way, I would like to see what the Renegade kilts look like. Does anyone have a link to their website?
