    " ready-made " Utility kilts available in the UK ?

    I'm considering buying a cotton utility kilt- yes I could make one but just now not practicable. So far have found Tartanista ones available on Amazon/eBAY which get good reviews. Also one on eBay which has leather straps and kind of neater/plainer looking for about the same price. I wonder about the fabric and how resistant it is to creasing. Anyone on here have experience of buying /wearing these ? I'm female but prefer the men's fit.

    The cotton and cotton blend kilts I have from UT / Pakistan do not keep up well. Have you looked at Stumptown Kilts. I bought my God Daughter one and it looks great. Have a great day.
    IF YOU SAY YOU CAN OR CAN'T DO SOMETHING YOU ARE CORRECT.

    Thanks for replying Wanting to keep to a UK supplier as shipping plus duty from the States bumps the cost way up . I have found a UK based one, kilts looks great, cost reasonable- it's http://www.unionkilts.com/shop/.

    Over the years I have bought a few Utility style kilts from Union Kilts of Wales and also from Tartanista. Always been satisfied with fair value for money.

    Yes the Union kilts look great and very reasonably priced. And Tartanista too as they sell on Amazon . One thing I noticed about the Tartanista kilts on Amazon is a lot of mixed/poor reviews regards inconsistent sizing of both mens and ladies, but mostly about the Ladies kilts.
