A $20 Utilikilt?

**CMcG** · 26th April 11, 07:40 PM

Serendipity struck and I am now the happy owner of an army green Utilikilt original. I wasn't planning on buying one partly because my lass is more into traditional tartan kilts and partly because I wasn't certain that it would suit my style. But then I saw one on the Kijiji online classifieds for only $20... including a wide leather belt! I couldn't resist.

The only problem was, the kilt was in another city and not at all close to me. Apparently the universe really wanted me to have it, though, because a friend of mine just happened to be visiting that city over Easter. I was taking care of her cats and so she was more than happen to do me a favour by picking up the Utilikilt. I went to collect it tonight and she said "don't worry about the $20!"

FREE UTILIKILT? F#@%ING EH!!!!!

Here are a couple hastily snapped pics. What do ya'll think?

With a Sportkilt shirt... I hope that isn't some sort of blasphemy

My lass told me I look like a lumberjack in this one (Maple Leaf tartan shirt)

Looks great! I have the same kilt, and I wear it more than any other! Except I paid $170 for it lol

Score! The second pic seems to work especially well, but Alaskans aren't exactly reknown for style.

Great choice of tartan for the shirt too -- I have one in Maple Leaf in wool from Pendleton in Oregon.

Um. About the lumberjack thing though? I hope she wasn't implying. . .

Looking good. Tough to beat a free kilt...especially when it fits so well.

Sweet! You'll end up wearing that one a lot. I wear mine(I have a couple) almost everyday. They make great "do anything" kilts, you wont worry about messing it up much.

Strange seeing you in a UK. You look good! Congrats on a great score!

As had been said, hard to beat a free kilt. Having said that you have gone the opposite of my path in kilting, I did not own a wool or even a MM PV kilt at the time I got my UK. I now wear it mainly just for particularly dirtier or real active activities and flying (not bad for flying save the airport hassles). Now that I have worn both PV and wool kilts my level of satisfaction is a little diminished as I am not as comfortable with the narrower apron. In your circumstance it was a great deal, but the UK Original today is overpriced for what you get. Lots of better kilts for the money. AltKilt is one.
