Since Alphakilts are made to measure you can get then more or less traditionally styled per your preference. The waist is snap closure, similar to UK but with fewer snaps. The aprons are sprt of complicated - lots of pleats in the underapron. Alpha gives personal service and offer lifetime size adjustments. I have one Alpha and 3 UKs. Overall I like my Mockers best as they are just simpler in the apron design.
