Utilikilts - Polling the experts

[Panache]

I own a Utilikilt Mocker and it is a very durable and handsome kilt.

Looking at your choices I would say that the Workmans is the coolest looking of the bunch and the Mocker is the most versatile (it can be dressed up or down quite nicely). Either will serve you well.

Before you commit to Utilikilts might I suggest that you do yourself a favor and look at Freedom Kilts, Union Kilts, and R Kilts. Comparison shopping is always a good idea. These companies all do modern kilts, and the first two are XMTS sponsors. You can customize The Freedom Kilt in a variety of ways that isn't an option with a Utilikilt.

I really like my Utilikilt and have the feeling it will outlast everything else in my modest kilt collection. But if I knew then what I know know I think i would have ordered a Freedom kilt instead just because I could have the features I wanted (like a higher rise) which weren't options with a UK.

Cheers

I have looked at freedom kilts, and I don't really like the style quite as much as the Utilikilts. This wouldn't be enough to rule them out, but after customizing their cheapest kilt to my liking, I found the price tag quickly approaching the $300 mark. And that price issue is keeping me away from the R Kilts as well. Union kilts are priced competitively with Utilikilts, and certainly warrant further consideration.



I am leaning towards the workmans. Originally I wasn't even going to consider it due to the price, and even now that is the main reason I am considering the others. But it is just so cool, and given the extra manliness of the workmans, I would probably be more comfortable wearing it around here, as there is not going to be another kilt in at least a 50 mile radius, and many of my friends are already warning me never to wear a "skirt" in public.

The mocker has a nice simple style, certainly looks comfortable, would have less of the punk/goth feel to it, and for the 2 times a year that I need something formal, it would be nice.

The denim seems tough, and cheaper than a workman, but not quite as cool. I am leaning away from it, but could easily change my mind if I get a chance to try one on.

The original is cheap, and the tan would be good for the summer. I will definitely want one (or something similar) at some point, and for the price of a workmans, I could almost buy 2 of these.

I would also consider a spartan if they would just drop the price by about 85%.
