    Saw it last night ... is a very brief shot, but it looks like a solid color "UK Type" kilt.

    Saw it tonight, just a quick shot, looked like a black UK workman's to me.

    Managed to TiVo the commercial ... still does not provide more than a brief shot of a guy playing guitar in a dark colored kilt. Definitely has pleats and a little 'swish' to it, and the guy looks comfortable in it.

    After replaying it a dozen times or so I still cannot make out enough detail to say it is for sure a UK, but it does look and hang like a UK, but a black mocker verses a workmans as I did not see the tell-tale shiny snaps ... but who knows, you can do a lot in the editing room.

    Might also be a SWK Black Standard?????

    i noticed that ad about a week ago when me and a few friends were watching tv. I agree that it looks like a UK but it is impossible to tell which model it is for sure.

    You could always email HP.

    They have their ads on their site, and I was trying to find the one you guys are talking about, but I didn't see it.

    red and black

    I saw red and black on my mom's hi-def plasma flat screen. A flashback, perhaps?
