I was sorting out some bookmarks to day and run across these and thought some of y'all might be interested. A good Cargo Kilt could come in handy on a really hot day ainnit?:D

Edit:
Or how about a survival Kilt?I especially like what it says about beverage containers at the bottom.:D :cool:
The Survival Kilt
The Survival Utilikilt was originally requested by adventurer par excellence, Vince Hemingson, host of the fascinating 'Vanishing Tattoo series. The prototype had just been completed when another travel adventurer, Richard Hatch, called, hoping to purchase just such a kilt for his upcoming sojourn on a deserted island, somewhere in TV land.

The Survival Utilikilt is, in essence, a stunning combination of features, morphed from both our Mocker and Original kilts. Starting at the top, we have added waist band snaps, making a belt not necessary. There is a Key clasp feature, as on the Workman's. There are inside slant pockets just like the Mocker, and the side cargo pockets are detachable; each one having its own closure flap and beltloops on the inside for usage off the kilt. For example, if you're wading through a leech infested swamp and yer mate throws you a wetsuit, you can stuff your kilt into one of its own pockets and loop it through your belt. Each pocket is equipped with elastic rimmed gussets to snap back to a flat shape after usage. The rear pockets are elastic rimmed with gussets as well (not detachable).

The Survival Kilt fabric is an 8.2 oz 100% cotton twill with wrinkle resistance and nano-care stain resistance which allows stains to "roll off" the fabric. To maintain the fabric's performance it is highly important that you follow our reccomended care procedure, wash only in cold water and hang to dry.

Another brand new feature for this model is a newly designed modesty closure system. This system serves two different purposes. 1. The button / loop simply closes the garment, which will reveal less thigh should a gust of wind catch you off guard going into the subway. 2. It pulls together the front of the kilt to the back, turning it into a pleated culotte type garment. And finally, The maximum capacity on this kilt, is twenty bottles of the survival beverage of your choice, six in the front, slant pockets, ten in the cargo's, and four in the rear.
 
Yeah. I got one (Workmans model). Kilts and khuks go together. It helps to carry the latter when your wearing the former.
 
I'd be interested but am concerned that I don't have the legs for it, and afraid that I *might*.
 
I've been wanting one for a while, but can't bear the price. If Target had one for $39 I'd be all over it.

Check out their user-submitted commercials if you can (under "interactive"), some are roll-on-the-floor funny. Rats... I don't see the old ones. They had one where a thief was stealing jackets out of a mens' room where everyone had dropped trou to do their business. The thief makes it out the door only to be dragged back inside and pummeled by the kilt-wearing hero, who wasn't delayed getting off the can :D
 
I intend to pick up a few of them when I can scrape up the scratch. I'm with mPisi- I kinda bristle at the thought of spending triple digits on any garment that isn't a suit. I mean, I sure as heck wouldn't spend a C-note on a pair of pants!

I really want a utilikilt or two though. I'm thinking they would be awesome for hiking and backpacking. Doubt I'd try rock-climbing in one though. Then again... :p
 
I'd get one but am concerned about seed ticks in the turkey woods.

Might look funny riding my bike too. Lessee...engineer boots, do rag, biker club wanna be t shirt, kilt, ......:D
 
For those who only THOUGHT they were prepared for any contingency.

Thanks for posting that Yvsa. I'm gonna get one of those. My legs always break out in the summer and that might be the perfect thing. Plus would be easier to moon people :eek:

I like the survival kilt.
 
Semper...the black leather one *would* go well with my vest and Club colors (Red & Black). I checked the site's FAQ though and still couldn't get an answer on what the heck you wear under one of these things...maybe I don't really want to know?
 
But it costs twice what my full-lenght leather cost me at Burlington. I like the Mocker style too.

"maximum capacity on this kilt, is twenty bottles of the survival beverage of your choice"--thats some survival in style, fer when the pub is more than a half block away, I guess.

I soulda pikced out a kild when i was up in Scotland, but back then they only had kilts that were guite formal and at least as expensive.

Can it be that hard to build a Kilt, it's essentially a man's pleated skilrt with a diff pleat arrangement and cut closer to the knee?

The real question is, why do Scotsmen wear kilts at all?

Yvsa,
If that's what ya wear (or don't wear) under a kilt, I'll need the floor length version to keep me covered! BWAAAAA!!!!

:D
 
Aye, Yvsa, there are a few of us around.

I've had the workman's model for a few years and I like it.

I tried a kilt once but decided I had better not wear it as I kept having this overwhelming urge to put on a pair of fishnet pantyhose and wear lipstick.
 
Kinda the bottom bracket of the kilt world. I attend the odd highland games and wander around drinking Guiness(I know Guiness is Irish), eating Haggis and ogling Shannon Hartnett(the total babe and poster girl for ladies heavy events). I'm interested in the Utilikilt, but the prices have always put me off. That and no traditional tartans.
 
Cheers YSVA, now I have to get one (apparently I have the legs, I am worried), at least thats what the girlfriend says. Actually I will see if they do a DPM (British camo) 'Soldier 2000' one that I can wear at cadets, since NCO's are allowed to privately purchase uniform items ;)
