Mountain Hardware Sale on Elkommando Utility Kilts

[Taskr]

Just for the heck of it, I've worn the M for the past two days while doing yard work. It actually fits better - in a way.

For review, I'm a 34 waist (jeans)

The Large fits slightly generously due to the 36, 38 waist. I thought maybe it might do well up at natural waist (which is 36) but the fabrication doesn't support that. It is very comfortable and wears "loosely". The cargo pockets sit back a bit far. Not much, just that bit that makes it a bit odd. Through the day of wear (road trip) I found I kept cinching the waist strap to keep it from feeling like it was slipping down. The pockets not loaded heavily.. just the usual stuff.

The Medium fits well the waist, but the hip size (38-40) is unforgiving resulting in a cloth not laying flat between the waist and top right apron snap - the appearance of a puckered pocket. Otherwise, its absolutely fine. Including the cargo pockets, which practically centred on the thigh. I wore it for two days doing yard work, some quite strenuous, and it was very comfortable with no sense of restriction of movement or any kind of binding up of the material.

The more comfortable fit is the M - with the L giving a sense of being a bit too loosely fitting and odd pocket fall. The issue on sizing the El Kommando, then, for me is the hip measurement. I can't see any place where it would allow for letting out a bit. I wonder if I would have the same fitting issue with MH pants - which I will look for locally to test that theory.
