    Chocolate Workman's Pics

    Just got a chocolate Utilikilt Workman's, nearly new, from a friend here on the board.

    Have been wanting one since I saw one this spring at the Flagstaff Ren Faire.

    Took it out for a hike today before chowing down on turkey.

    There are a couple of pics at the bottom of page 7 of my gallery.

    Ron, that looks fabulous! I am not normally partial to dark brown, but the chocolate brown UK is up on my list. Happy Thanksgiving!

    Its definately the kilt I wear the most. The color looks like crap on the rack, but like heaven after a couple of washes. It fades to a lovely bomber jacket type of brown. It frequently gets mistaken for leather.

    Goes with everything too. Black shirts, green shirts, grey shirts, brown shirts, whatever.

    Ron,

    Good to hear that you're enjoying it... Finally got my black survival back from UKHQ where it was having a snap replaced on one of the detachable pockets.

    Ron, Just to echo what others have said: of all my eleven UKs my chocolate brown Workmans is almost certainly my absolute favourite - I just love it and wear it more than any of the others. The natural, off-white 'ditto' runs a close second.

    Because it is now beginning to show signs of wear, I am thinking of buying another as a replacement when it comes to my next purchase.

    Thanks Ham,

    Appreciate the tip on the White Workman's too. Been thinking about one for a long time...just didn't think I'd actually wear it that much...now, with your feedback maybe its time to reconsider

    Thought I heard they were going away...better make a decision soon...

    I heard the same thing, but I just went to check, and they still have the white listed on the picture side-bar. They're not doing on-line ordering right now, so there's no way of telling if it's still a buy-option.
