					Just got a new model kilt from Alphakilts.com
 It's a beautiful!  I don't have a chance to get it on today, but here are some pics of it out of the box.  Pics of it being worn to come:
 
 Here is a front view...
 
  
 and a side view...
 
  
 and a back view...
 
  
 and here is the pleat depth...
 
  
 and a picture of the embroidered pocket logo...
 
  
 and here is the secret inner pocket (shhh)...
 
  
 and this shows that the pleat continue all the way around - here is the inside of the inner apron...
 
  
 and the inside of the outer apron...
 
  
 and finally, here is the cargo pocket...
 
  
 which is removeable!
 
  
 
 As I said - it is extremely well made, and photos of me wearing it to come.

					Hmmm, I'll look into those guys.  Let us know how it does once you wear it around a bit.
				 I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

					I'm saving up for my first contemporary kilt.  I've been trying to decide between an Amerikilt or a Utilikilt, but that looks really nice!  I'd love to hear a review when you get a chance.

	Yup...box pleats.  The ones on their website are currently knife-pleated models.  I was able to get on as a product tester for their new box-pleated model.  Very sturdy and extremely well made.  I would put this as an equivalent to Utilikilts.

					Would be interested in a Denim, but am a bit hesitant after my eternally crumpled Amerikilt pleats!     Wear it for a few days, then please give us a review. In and out of a car, seated in front of TV. etc. How do the pleats and general hang hold up?

					Interesting. They certainly think positively though. How many kilts come with "Condom Pockets"?
