    Kilts from recycled military pants?

    I was browsing around ebay, and found a seller with "grodygoose" kilts, which are made from recycled military camo pants.

    for $45, I figured there may be someone here who may want to check them out.

    here is the link.

    KT,
    Thanks for the link. I'm interested in doing something in camo myself, though I'm a bot more interested in snow camo.If you have the chance, a review would be great!

    Definitely a non-traditional kilt. No apron, buttons straight down the front, pleats go round back like a Utilikilt. Looks like fun, though, and the price is right! Wonder if they have a women's kilt (I'm jeeessttt kiiiiiidddiinnggg).

    Kilt On.

    That is EXACTLY how UK got started, at least according to one of the versions of the stories I have heard. Steven wanted to find a use for some worn out camo pants, and wanted something unbifurcated at the same time.
    Thus was the Original UK born.
    .. the kilt had concealed a blaster strapped to one thigh and a knife to the other. He was aware of the present gentle customs against personal weapons, but he felt naked without them. Such customs were nonsense anyhow, foolishment from old women - there was no such thing as "dangerous weapons," only dangerous people.

    Eeeeeeek! I've only just noticed that my 'pearls' are being quoted!! I believe that came from the ghastly VideoNation thing I did for the BBC several years ago.

    Thank you, Taper, for considering me worthy!!!
