    I don't know how I feel about the blue corduroy just yet. I'd probably have to see it in person. I do know that I'm not fond of the red. I own teh tan and the only word to describe it is beautiful. I really like that one....

    It's good to see the website up again, but did the prices have to go up too? The Survivals are now $20 more than what I paid less than a year ago - for the $250 thay want I could get a made-to-measure RKilt, including shipping. Sheesh.

    Excellent Choice Derek!

    Think you'll grow to love it. Gonna be pretty unique over in England.

    If you want a sneak peak of it here's a little gallery of some shots of mine.

    Hope it opens for you, if not, let me know and I'll email you a direct invite.

    Hi Ron thanks for the photos, I'm clean shaven, but I think we are about the same size so I got to see about what I will look like, and you look ok to me lol.

    Thanks again

    Waddahya mean, Ron, "unique over in England."? Huh! I've had a chocolate brown Workman's Utilikilt since December 2003, and worn it out and about more times than I can imagine. Huh! In fact, of all 11 of my Utilikilts, I believe that one is my favourite.

    Have you got your Utilikily yet, Derek? I'd be interested to see your pictures, read your review, and hear about reactions. At the moment I own 6 kilts and 7 trousers and considering buying a blue denim utilikilt for my seventh kilt.

    My very first kilt was a tan original Utilkilt - and I just love the cargo pockets.

    Just bumbled back onto this thread,

    Sorry Ham....but I do mean Utilikilts are unique in the UK....didn't mean to imply "exclusive" - know there are a bunch over there.

    And, hey Derek, gotta be about time for your UK to be arriving, I hope. Do let us know how you like it.
