Mountain Kilt
I already bought a Mountain Kilt last summer as my first kilt. I find it very relaxing comfortable for hiking. With a 32 inch waist I ordered the medium and it is about 21" and hangs just above the knew. However one of the snaps broke (may be due to expanding waistline!) and I can't seem to find a suitable replacement. I even tried writing to Mountain Hardwear - no response. Any ideas? Interestingly, this kilt can be worn using the belt only and no waist snaps. This is my first post.

Mine just arrived!
They told it would come NEXT friday but it arrived today... Wow that was fast!
Yes, I'll post a picture as soon as I can.
It is, as I thought, shorter than I would otherwise wear being 24" from waist to hem, but I bought it as an investment in sending a message to retailers, more than even as something to wear.
I think I'll end up wearing in the hot Washington DC summers, probably over a speedo.
For that locale, I'm tempted to leave the tag on it prominently displaying "Men's."
more to follow....

There ARE viable alternatives to trousers.

OK, here's two snaps of me, in my newly arrived Mountain Kilt...tags still attached!
Oh dear...I can't get them to upload. I followed the "manage attachments" link, and then I 'browsed' to the file in question, and then I hit 'upload'
At that point I get "Server not found"
Perhaps I'll try later, or if somebody else more savvy is willing to assist, let me know of an address to which I can simply e-mail the photos.
Thanks!

Credit Cards over the Internet ...
I made a credit card purchase from REI last month and had no problems- they emailed me when they dispatched the order, and I received it - here in Australia - within a week of the send-date. (I believe it also pays to join REI at the time of first-purchase, so as to receive discounts and rebates, and regular news from that company...).Also, because their freight on international orders starts at $US42, it pays to have a more substantial order- like a minimum of $150 or so, to spread the pain a bit..David R wrote:I have a Mountain Kilt. (I have no trouble with credit card purchases from Australia.) It is a very good skirt for a man. It is stable in winds and even works seated as there is some drape in the front. I would certainly recommend it for warm weather use. I have worn this extensively and it must look right as you are hardly noticed. Even my wife is happy with it. With regard to size, I am 35" waist and Xtra-large fits perfectly. I am 6' tall and the length is perfect knee length. I would say that if your waist size was greater than 36" you may not fit even Xtra-large. For the relatively reasonable price, buy one and send a message to the manufacturers that there is a demand for men's skirts.
Here is the link to the supplier I purchased from.

Just tried to order through REI, their "XL" size are "out of stock" (you guys got there first!!!!) There buyer must have assumed only "slim guys" < 36" waists would want this product. See, we're telling them something else!)
I'll try another retailer or let my order go as "back order" on REI.

Try http://www.TravelCountry.com. It's where I got mine, and I think they still have some XL's in stock (I got a large; hopefully it'll fit right).longshadows wrote:Just tried to order through REI, their "XL" size are "out of stock" (you guys got there first!!!!)

Just got mine in
I have to say, I'm impressed with it. The only possible issue is that it's a little loose. Still, it may shrink a bit, and all in all it's pretty nice.

I had to remove this signature as it was being used on Twitter. This is my OPINION, you NEEDN'T AGREE.

If you want fast shipping, Travel Country's the way to go. I made my order on Tuesday, and it got here in 48 hours. Plus, shipping is free on all orders over $50.
