Kommando Kilts

I agree, to be merchandising a product, and not try to present it in the best possible light, is just bad business. They would be better off to not have the Pictures, and just have descriptions for now.

They are not going to generate a great deal of interest by their website!

Which is too bad!

Well, we know that Kommando Kilts has at least one satisfied customer. Perhaps they see themselves as filling a niche market within the kilt world... not too different from Sport Kilts (which seems to have a dedicated following.) Whether we think these kilts look good or not may be irrelevant. If they manage to procure enough happy customers to keep the sewing machine running, then more power to them.

From humble beginnings.....

Have ya never heard of Jewlery?

Wow, that giant box pleat thing in the back makes it look almost like its backwards with a strange skinny apron. Doesn't seem to be in the same league as a UK.

As a kilt it doesn't look good, as a khaki paper sack, it looks great. The belt loops would hold a 4 inch thick belt 5 inches wide, provided you could find one.

I can now fully appreciate the first kilt I made. Problem is, the four models all look like their first kilt, which is a feat within itself. Looks as if they were made in a timed event for the new Highland games "Kilt-Krofting."

Seriously, that one big pleat on the back isn't happening. Utilikilts has nothing to fear, but the general public does. You can purchase a Utilikilt original for $125 can't you? How could anyone mistake this for a Utilikilt without consuming several pints of Stout?

It may just be the photos, but being worn askew like that isn't helping.

It could be an attempt to wipe out the phenominom of "Backward Kilt Wearing". It looks the same coming or going.

A DNS lookup leads you to his other site. Looks like he has a lot going on.

Better leather work on the boots than the kilts.

I bought one of the Kommando kilts this summer at a ren fair and the pics online are not a good portrait of the kilt. It is a mix between a traditional and a modern kilt. What I like about it is the front pockets are slash pockets like jeans , not cargo pockets like UK's. The shoes and boots they sell are very nice to. I want to save up for a pair of the Ghillie boots!
