Utilikilt Jean Cut

[cryptoman]

Probably due to not being hemmed and the extra pleats. Maybe as much action as can be expected of a reverse Kinguise pleat system. Of all my Utilikilts, the denims get the best pleat action and lay - probably due to the diagonal flexability of denim.

I think of denim as pretty stiff compared to cotton drill fabrique, so it is less prone to wrinkle. Who is this guy called Kinguise?

Kinguise is a town/district in Scotland where the pleat system was first seen. It is spelled a bit different I think.

Denim, when new, has a lot of sizing in it that makes it stiff. There are also several different weaves of denim.

A trick I use on new denim and on the cotton ducks, is, after they have been hang dried, I toss them in the cold dryer for 10 minutes with a dozen clean tennis balls. It makes the denim diaper (nappy) soft without any apparent harm. On the ducks, it reduces the stiffness and abrasiveness - some.

These broken in Utilikilt denims seem totally immune to wrinkles.

I envy your flat underbelly, it makes kilts look superb on your waist. I recently bought a Biker Skilt with extra thikness on the waistband. Is cotton drill really that rigid? The adjustable waistband sounds good in theory but make the adjustment a pain in the ***. As long as I cannot bend over properly I think the extra stiffness makes it unwearable to me.

I am unsure of drill which is a tighter weave compared to twill. The Utilikilt Originals and Mockers use a cotton poly twill which is pretty wrinkle resistant and somewhat supple. The Utilikilt fixed waist is good and bad in that it reminds me to push away from the table and start the situps With $7349 invested in mostly 33 inch Utilikilts, I can't afford not to. At 60 it's easy on and real tough to lose it. Unsure of how the Skilt adjusts on the bending issue - I don't have one. You may be getting it too tight in the lower waist/upper hip area. Skilts depend on a good belt for "anchoring" the kilt so you should be able to loosen below the belt.

I had a Biker Skilt of a discounted stack with wider waistband. A folded velcro band at the waistband allowes waist adjustment and a leather strap to adjust the pleats accordingly. The material was to rigid for my taste and I never had paid the regular price of 245 GBP. I sought after the trinity business kilt with slash pockets for $120 but still don't know if it is worth a shot.

The flat pelvis comes from contracting my internal oblique muscles. I started this one so long ago that I do it automatically now.. These are your abdominal corset and are not usually visible as they are covered with the external obliques and the rectus muscles down the center. Just try to make your belly button reach your spine without holding your breath. Lay flat on your back with your legs at a 45 and your feet flat on the floor. Place your hands between your pelvic points and belly button, close to the points. Try to bring in your belly button without tightening the rectus muscles (this isn't a situp).
You will feel the internal obliques tighten - it feels like a taunt sheet under your skin - when you get the right set of muscles. Hold it in as long as your comfortable can. Over time it will be longer. Soon you can do it standing, then walking and finally sitting. The more you do it the more automatic it becomes.

You don't hear about this much from the bodybuilders. There is no equipment to be sold to do this exercise.
