I have a PK MarPat with the slash pockets and the under apron pocket. For a casual utility style kilt, I LOVE THEM! They are one of those features that you may not miss if they were never there, but once you have them you will never want to loose them.

I plan to get a Tartan Freedom Kilt with his hidden slash pockets because the options it provides you without compromising the appearance are priceless. If you don't want to wear a sporran for that quick run to the store, no problem.

Bottom line, Freedom kilts can hide these pockets in the pleats so well that you will not know they are there.
