    I had a "Carhart" workmans from Utilikilts a few years back that I regretfully had to sell. I used to get asked if it was a Carhart brand quite a bit.

    I really do want to get another Workmans Utilikilt, but this time in black.

    Carhart is very popular here, si I get the Carhart question with mine a lot. I even started calling it my Carhart kilt myself. The material is very close to what Carhart uses in most of their garments, though I think the Utilikilt duck is a little stiffer.

    Bet it freaked those Carhart boys out!

    For those scratching their heads here's a pic



    Utilikilt calls it Caramel. I've found it also makes a passable "Irish saffron"

    Here in the canyonlands the color is a dead on "camo" for the Navajo Sandstone. Note how closely the color matches the riverbottom sands.

    And, just my opinion, but I think its the most "bulletproof" of the UK workman's colors...through they're most likely all the same.

    And, I think Ham has a real antique in that color...maybe he could get rich selling it to the Carhart museum....like he'd part with it...
