Mocker Musings & Cold Weather

[GG]

Has anyone purchased one of Utilikilts Mocker kilts? I was looking at these online, but they are pricey and wondered if they are worth the 200 dollar price tag. What is the material like; are they stiff like denim or softer than that?

Hi Norm,

I have. Is it worth it? You, living in the USA, shall pay 200 dollars for it plus a minor freight cost. For me, living in Denmark, it is quite another business. Freight is at least 50 dollars, making it 260 dollars. OK, quite a lot, but it doesn't stop here. Customs duty 12% applies = another 31 dollars. And then there is 25% VAT of 291 dollars = 73 dollars plus a customs clearance fee about 33 dollars, meaning my Mocker ends up costing 397 dollars or twice the price of the kilt.

I think, it is more than it is worth. But at 200 box you'll get a fantastic kilt. And without these rather ugly cargo pockets to find on other and more expensive Utilikilts and most Pakistani utility kilts. And if it is about having a beautifully looking and well-made kilt, I should prefer the Mocker over four Pakistanis.

It is about as stiff as denim, but it feels different. When washed it gets softer.
