What? No Molle webbing? How can anything cloth be tactical without Molle webbing?

They do have compartments in the cargo pockets for pistol and rifle magazines. I think you're right, though, and this is for off-duty use.

Nope. But they suggest you can buy their underwear. There is one scene in the video where it's a good thing he did. :eek:
I signed up to be notified when they are in stock.
 
You don't need underwear!

(unless you use it to keep your backup in it)

I'm not sure about this one, I'll probibly stick with my utilikilt.
 
I'd buy one or two at that price.
I don't have the legs for it either, but I don't care.

Due to popular demand, we will be making a limited edition of theTactical Duty Kilt

I'm gonna grab at least one if at all possible.
 
It turns out that 5.11 will really be releasing a Tactical Kilt.

Friends in the 5.11 Tactical Community,
About a month ago our lead designer, Cory Nykoluk, came to me with the idea to have some fun on April 1st with a 5.11 Tactical Duty Kilt. "We've had a number of requests for kilts, so why not make one?" Cory had enlisted our creative services director, Matt Frederick and our director of ecommerce, Brian Rogers. I gave the project a green light with the commander's guidance to make the "TDK" a true 5.11 product supported by a proper launch. Operational security was strict as only about 6 people inside 5.11 knew about this project. In fact, the only reference in meetings and e-mails was to "Project Caber."
Our close friend Kyle Lamb, President of Viking Tactics, was briefed and signed on immediately. It turned out he was about to attend a Dropkick Murphys concert. Perfect timing as band member, Scruffy Wallace, is a kiltsman who plays bagpipes and the tin whistle in a VTAC T-shirt. The final piece needed was an athlete/first responder to demonstrate the mobility of the TDK. Matt Frederick called Roman, a veteran duty sheriff and Parkour athlete and we were rolling.
Last week, when we reviewed the video footage of Roman leaping walls in the TDK - it was clear - we had achieved the goal of making a Kilt true to the 5.11 brand. There was a collective "uh-oh, we only have one kilt in inventory!" On Saturday, March 31st, I called 5.11 Tactical founder, Dan Costa, to tip him off. His response: "Be ready, you're going to sell some kilts!"
Indeed, the Tactical Duty Kilt launch was a success, so it seems the April Fool's Day joke is on us! Due to your positive response, we are pleased to announce that the Tactical Duty Kilt will become available for pre-orders soon on the following web page:http://www.511tactical.com/Tactical-Duty-Kilt.html. We don't plan to make the TDK an "in-line" product, so this is a limited time, web only offer. If you haven't already signed up for notifications on when this product becomes available for purchase, please do so now athttp://www.511tactical.com/Tactical-Duty-Kilt.html and give us your name and e-mail address in the form located on the right-hand side of the page. We plan on sending out 1 more email to those that have given us their information to confirm size and color and other important ordering details.
5.11 Tactical Duty Kilts will be available in Black, Khaki, and OD Green (MultiCam will be offered at a slightly higher price) in even waist sizes 30- 40 for a very limited time - don't miss out. Remember we only have one in inventory today, so we'll need some time to make them for you!
Thanks for your friendship, sense of humor and support of 5.11 Tactical. I'm signing off to place my Tactical Duty Kilt order!

I wonder how much of a success it has to be for them to make it a regular offering.
 
I have a utilikilt and it has lasted for 8 years. And I love it. (they are built to last that is for darn sure) I just lost some weight and I don't want to have the kilt taken in any.
 
All Sold Out. I have a couple of kilts (one formal MacArthur I wear w. the local pipe band) and a couple of casual kilts (Utilikilts, Amerikilt, etc.) & would love to have a 5.11 kilt. (I wear 5.11 pants to work @ the bar most nights & they fit me well)
They would be foolish not to offer them as a regular product.
If this is all an elaborate April-Fool's joke, I'm switching to Vertx (which I also like- a lot).
Are you listening 5.11?
 
I got my followup email today, and sent in my order.
They say they will begin shipping by September 1.
