Utilikilts - Polling the experts

[Nerts]

I have an OD Original and I LOVE it! Got it in March and haven't had a problem with the weather yet, but I'm in BC so it doesn't get that bad to begin with.

So far it's served me well. I was told by the UK customer service guy that they will take a beating and keep on going. So I don't think you will have to worry much about yours.

I'm sure you'll be satisfied with whatever you end up getting.

Good luck!

It definitely is difficult to decide which one to go with. Really really hard.

I don't even think I have a favourite yet. I just love them all.

I have to put in a motion for you to look at Freedom Kilts if you want your prime assets properly featured. Steve takes more measurements than any other kilt maker.

Take a look at his how to measure video in the Freedom Kilts Section of this forum and compare it to the measuring instructions on the U.K. site. Don't get me wrong, I love my UK original, but it does not fit well in the hips.

There is no way that a kilt measured for waist and length is going to fit as well as a custom tailored one except through sheer luck. For the kind of money we are talking, for this man's wallet, I prefer not to leave it to chance.

Additionally Steve is way more knowledgeable than the sales folk at U.k. Don't get me wrong, those guys are great - they are very professional. But the lack the crusty charm and in depth understanding of a man that has put together as many kilts as Steve has.

At the end of the day, if you want it quick and are willing to take a chance on how well it fits you - go with a U.K. If you insist on quality and custom fit, go with the F.K.

Just my two cents.

ive a half dozen various UKs...by far my most worn and favs are the workmans..i have one in each color...stiff initially, but once worn in, or beaten repeatedly against a rock, they are by far the most bullet proof. i live in north cacalacki...i know hot and humid...i still prefer to wear my wkmns.

ill go out on a limb here for ya bro..i too think i have a great ..um..rear. years of soccer and cycling have honed it to a work of art according to my wife. i love the way my wkmns hug the bubblebutt. snug...but it dosnt ruin the line. ( man i sound like a GIRL...and a vain one at that!!!)

i dont worry about spilling scotch on it, nor beer, not whiskey..um..whats left...uh....vodka...i dont worry about that either.

if it were my money i'd steer ya toward a UK

peace and bike grease!
