Why I love UKs

Quite neat really. I don't know if it was designed that way or after the design it just worked.

Steve designed the UKs to be functional first. The logo is three folded "F"s for "Form Follows Function". I'm sure the kilts were designed that way.

Steve is, then, a very clever chap!

Of course, the apron is not the only reason I love my UKs.

Reason #2

Washing them. The other week I was grading a large pile of students' papers. I made myself a nice large mug of tea. Carelessly, I knocked the tea over. The very hot liquid caught the edge of the pile, but mostly ended up in my lap! I was wearing my black UK mocker. Quick as a flash the klt was off and in the washing machine. I started to dry the students' papers with a hair dryer. By the time I had finished clearing up the damage the UK was washed, dried and back on. Not even ironed. The pleats are quite amazing.

the reason I love my UK.......I ALWAYS get a compliment on it when I wear it. I've had it for two years, and have worn it alot, and it never fails,....... wear the UK, and somebody will say it's cool.

I love my uk's as well, to me they are all things edgy and libertine! nothing says "I'll do what I like!" as well as a uk and some big toe stompin' boots! They (uk's) also can be quite tame if the need arises, It never has for me. see ya
