    another question for hamish

    nice black UK.
    when did you buy it?
    the material seems to be different today than it was a few years ago.
    looks wrinkly now , from the photos on their site.
    doesn't look that way in your photo.
    what is it made of?
    thanx

    Hi Phil,
    I bought that Black, NeoTrad, Original UK back in December 2001.

    Yes, I believe the fabrics used now are rather different - maybe, in those days, Utilikilts were still using the ends of other peoples' fabric production runs! If I remember correctly, it was a little softer than the same model appears today, although it was a poly-cotton (perhaps more cotton than poly!)

    That pic was taken in Nov 2002 so, by then, the kilt had also received a washing or two!

    Perhaps it was not fair of me to post that pic in the Utilikilts Photo Gallery after all this time, but I felt that it is still representative of their really great kilts.

    mine is a few years old too, and I still put a photo up there.
    the new stuff looks shiny.

    Hello Ham,

    I was looking at some of your pictures and noticed that you had on red kilt hose. I have been unable to find red and I was wondering where you got them. I can find red socks but not kilt hose. Any help would be appreciated. You can contact me at billaugustine@wideopenwest.com or leave a message here.

    Sincerely,
    Bill Augustine

    Bill. I moved your question to the Kilt Accessories Forum. It is a better place for that question...
    Beannacht Dé,
