UT Kilts Men's Standard Utility Kilt, Modern Scottish Kilt for Everyday Wear, with Adjustable Hip Straps & Cargo Pockets

We are very impressed with the UT Kilts “Standard” utility kilt. My husband loves his kilts and is an exhaustive researcher, so I’m happy to share a little bit about his experience and what he’s learned. Ultimately my husband was choosing between the UT Kilt and the Damn Near Kilt ‘Em (DNKE) kilt, and he chose the UT Kilt for the below reasons. My husband’s waist is 34 inches, and the 36 fit exactly as promised. Compared to the DKNE, the UT Kilt is: - Better made - Stronger stitching with reinforcement at the pleats - More robust snaps, that are back with a lifetime warranty - Adjustability at waistband to accommodate a couple extra inches, if needed - Wider front panel compared to DNKE, which means that the pleating begins toward the side My husband reached out to UT Kilts with a few questions and I will add that it was the Owner/CEO, Bryce, who responded promptly and in detail to his questions. SO AWESOME! Additionally, if you don’t see the specific combination that you like online, it’s possible to request a special order and get EXACTLY what you want in about 5 weeks. A final note: I have worked professionally in costume design and construct both modern and period garments. This means that I am typically VERY critical of the workmanship of off-the-rack garments. My impression of the quality of the UT Kilt is simply excellent, with the kind of finishing, reinforcement and stitch detail that promises a lifetime of wear. Plus, it’s one of the most attractive modern kilt designs available.

I've owned and worn an old UTILIKILT for more than a dozen years, and having lost about 50 lbs recently and about 6 inches off my waist, I decided to get a replacement. That old kilt is made of heavy canvas, colored a dull orange, and it wears like iron, but it doesn't move or flex unless I encounter a very heavy wind to move it. Because it doesn't flex, it looks very 'artificial'. I dyed it dark brown and washed it numerous times to loosen it up without much luck. My UT Kilt arrived and I tried it on immediately. It's half the weight of that old kilt, perfectly stitched fits wonderfully. I intentionally bought mine just a tad loose, and the measurement they sent me was precisely what I needed. DO pay attention to their size chart information. Measure about one inch below your belly button with a cloth measuring tape. Then I recommend that you add TWO INCHES to that measurement. My own waist is 36 inches. If I'd ordered a size 38 UT Kilt, it would have been exactly the right size. However, I most often wear heavier weight shirts, so I added 4 inches to my measurement, instead of just 2 inches. It's still just a tiny bit loose, and I can easily take up the slack with my waist belt, and with the two waist straps and buckles built into the kilt. If I gain a bit of weight, or add an inch to my waist because of holiday feasting, I'm still going to have a kilt that fits properly. If you get it too small, it will NOT stretch to fit! I'm 6-feet tall; the kilt is 22-inches long from top hem to bottom hem, so if you wear it properly, the bottom hem partially covers your knees. Other kilts sold here on Amazon tend to run 24-inches long or longer, and the shorter 22-inch length was the final factor in my decision to buy from UT KILTS.The belt loops are exceptional, and the UT Kilt folks also carry ab excellent 2 1/4-inch belt that is perfect for the job. However, all the Celtic belt buckles listed here on Amazon are configured for a 1 1/2-inch belt, and there are numerous reviews discussing that mismatch in size. So I opted to continue using the 2-inch heavy leather work belt that I've worn for years with my old kilt. It will work just fine until I can find the right buckle. I'd recommend this UT Kilt to anyone who hasn't tried wearing a kilt before, and I give it TWO ENTHUSIASTIC THUMBS UP for any veteran kilt wearers who are considering a purchase.

I've never owned or wore a kilt before. I ordered others before this one and sent them back. This one is well made and comfortable. I like the cargo style side pockets. I wish it had normal pockets like others I tried. It also has 2 buckle style straps on it that I could do without. I don't use them so they hang. If you measure where you want it to wear on your waist and order the corresponding size then it fits true. It has 3 different size fitting snaps. I traded house shorts for a kilt. Some call it a skirt. I call it freedom lol.

I've been wearing kilts on and off since I was "a wee bairn," as it were, and I've wanted a utility-style kilt since I first saw one a few years ago. I finally bit the bullet, and I'm glad I did. So what makes this kilt so great? First, the "build" quality. UT Kilts makes a fine product. This thing looks like it's going to be with me for a good long time. The fabric is heavy-duty and the stitching is neat and solid. Second, the pockets. I love the pockets. I didn't think I'd get much use out of the little slit-style exterior pockets, but they sit at th perfect height for me to stick my hands in them, and they do a perfectly fine job holding a tube of lip balm. I suppose I could put change in there if I kept it in a little coin purse or something; instead, along with the lip balm (which pretty much lives there), I just stick anything in the slit pockets that just needs a home for a few minutes. As for the large pockets, they're perfect. They hold my epic phone (Samsung Galaxy Note) and my wallet, no problem. That's about all I carry, but the phone is so big that there's just basically no getting it into a trouser pocket (cargo pants excepted, but I tend not to wear those). I bought this kilt in part as a way to add more pockets to my cycling kit without actually adding full-on pants. I haven't worn it on the bike yet, but I suspect it will do just fine in that regard. One more note: don't be afraid to order right on size. I ordered a few inches larger, because I was paranoid, and I shouldn't have. It doesn't make enough of a difference that I feel like I should return this kilt (it doesn't fall off or anything), but a snugger fit would be a little better.

This kilt exceeded my expectations in every way. The quality and craftsmanship are outstanding, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. I would definitely buy again!

Quality material professional make

Muy buena calidad solo tengan cuido para elegir la talla

Sizing is correct. Fits well. Looks great. Washes well.

I have bought these kilts directly from Brice at UT Kilts before, shipping them across the boarder with Amazon is just much easier, Fedex brokerage is a pain. The kilts are awesome and priced so that you really can wear them almost everywhere for almost everything.
