I own two of these and agree they're very nice. Four pockets (two slash and two cargo), belt loops spaced like blue jeans, durable light-weight "rip-stop" fabric, an optional snap you can close to keep the apron from flying open on windy days, good construction, and a reasonable price.

They do have fewer pleats than most utility kilts, though, and I my case at least they run large. I ordered a 38, my usual kilt size, and had to get two inches removed from the waist. I couldn't exchange them for a smaller size because last year they were only available on a special one-time basis. They collected orders in April, had the whole batch made overseas somewhere, and then shipped them to customers in late September. Still, I'm happy I bought them.

I have just checked their website (from England) and the kilt is still shown, but listed as discontinued.

Odd, because I don't see Discontinued anywhere and it let me add one to my cart.

Depending on the link used to get there you may find a "discontinued" notice. It ain't so. They just haven't killed that old page.

Looks nice! Not a bad price for a kilt. Still a bit out of my price range but I'm sure well worth the price.

When did they promise delivery?

I had to wait six months for mine.

They must be shipping from stock, then. Very cool. Let us know how it goes, eh?

You can get them in the UK from their Amazon UK store; it's how I got mine. :D

Guys,
I just received mine, its khaki color. Construction is very good, very comparable to Utilikilt in many ways. It does have fewer pleats, but it has enough so it doesn't restrict movement. It has deep slash pockets and large cargo pockets. It's a bit lighter than a Utilikilt, but I consider than an advantage. It also hangs well with a bit of flare and swings well --- I will probably buy another one (different color)...

Too bad, but if you write them, maybe they'll give you a "due in" date.

It's also possible they have your size in another color.

I really like these kilts for hiking and other outdoor activities.
