    I got it today!

    I just got my new utilikilt today. I've not been waiting long, less than two weeks. I got the workman dark brown if anyone cares.
    It's a nice kilt to trash around in.
    Only one problem, these kilts have modesty snaps to close the kilt if need be and mine only had the two snaps in front, none in the back so I called them up and they are sending me the snaps and told me to find a taylor and they'll take care of me.
    Well I've got to go and hang up my freshly washed kilt.

    Congrats on the new kilt! The Workman's UK is a fantastic looking kilt that has broken LOTS of boundaries. Enjoy it!

    However...

    Didn't they offer to pay for the kilt to be shipped back and put a snap on and send it back? Why should you do the legwork for their mistake?

    Just thought that 1 thing odd... that's all.

    Bottom line: You probably (don't know if you will or not) won't use the modesty snap all that often, so it won't matter that much anyway.

    Thumbs up

    Congrats on the new kilt! My first kilt was a Workmans. If they still sold my size I'd get another one.

    Congratulations on the new Workman's. I have the carmel, but I'm waiting on a brown one and a white one. They got hold of a limited amount of white duck, and I couldn't resist.

    Does seem odd that they would tell you to find a taylor to add the missing modesty snaps. Maybe they are overloaded with orders and offered to handle it this way.

    Johnny Celtic, congratulations on the new kilt! You will like it, although I think that they want you to find a tailor, somebody (typically a man) who sews for a living, and not somebody named Taylor!

    SB, have they changed the sizes they stock? I didn't realize there were limits on the sizes, based on the styles, you could order.

    Haha! yea, I was just waking up from my nap when I logged on. It's tailor.
    By the way, I asked the guy what we could do other than send the kilt back to Seattle. I don't think this is a big deal as I'll most likely never use this feature but would like to have them.....I guess.
    My mother is a fine seamstress, (She made my first kilt as a wee lad) but the man at utilikilt said ya need a snap button machine so this is something that can't be done at home I think. Anyway, no big deal but I do like to see how customer service handles problems so as to let me know if I'll do more business in the future. So far I happy. I mowed my yard today in my new kilt and the grass seemed alittle bit greener.

    You can purchase the snap buttons at Wal Mart or any fabric store. All it takes to put them on is a pair of pliers.

    Unless you're bigger than 60" or smaller than 30" you can still get one.
