Utilikilts? well they pride themselves on paying everyone a living wage, but IMNSHO they are expensive for what you get. On the other hand, folks like Freedom Kilts and R kilts hand make them to your specifications.

To find out why I am ecstatic with what Steve charged me for a Freedom Kilt, sit down and sew one up yourself. I am making my third casual kilt now, and still haven't been able to turn one out we would want to purchase. But getting closer every time....

I am a fat just made myself a box pleated casual. 5 yards of material, 14 box pleats, all sewn down on inside edge, 12 of them tapered and stitched to fell, stitched all the way down from fell, waistband, aprons, beltloops, pockets, it is a fair bit of work.

Anxiously awaiting my F.K, paid more for it than most U.K.'s cost and still think it is a steal.
