Utility Kilts

[creagdhubh]

I was at a renaissance fair this weekend and decided (as my second kilt -- in addition to my more traditional style blackwatch casual kilt) to pick up a black Utilikilt Original.

I was able to get the price down to 160$ even (normally 187 + tax ... US Dollars) .. I plan on wearing for more hands-on activities .. Like yardwork and the such .. Because it feels more durable (and is machine washable)

what's the rabble's opinion on utility kilts?

I need to find my male-line clan tartan (Hughes) so I have more options to go out in.

I dislike them completely, but then again, I am just an old staunch traditionalist. It is not a traditional Highland kilt, the Garb of the old Gaul, to me. Sorry for the bluntness, I am merely being honest and mean no disrespect to those who do wear the utili-kilt.

Cheers,

Be careful about putting things in the pockets. The Original's not so bad but what goes into to pockets of the mockers are best retrieved years later when you need something that you haven't seen for a long time and can't for the life of you figure out why things turn up missing after you've worn that mocker.
I have a closet full of Utilikilts, right along side others SWK, Sportkilt, etc.
UK's are excellent.
