OUCH!! That's gotta hurt!

I've been watching Utilikilts on Ebay for several months now just out of curiousity and I can't believe how high they go. I don't know of any clothing items that hold their value like that. It's not really that unusual for UKs to go for more than they could be purchased brand new.

That is odd, seeing as UKs aren't outta buisness or anything. Only other clothing I've ever seen go for more than retail is sports jerseys and sneakers. I made a small fortune last year selling some old stuff. I wish I had some of it to sell now, I'd buy a new tank

Many of us whom already own UK's likely wouldn't consider going above this mfgr's sale price. I for one wouldn't consider it, unless these exceptions were present: 1. (a material/b size/c color) I might want the kilt in a specific material or size that is no longer available at UK, or; 2. (necessity to have in short time) I may find that a time factor presses me to buy it because I've a project or event to attend and it is available to me faster than UK's usual delivery projection, or; 3. (distance and cost of travel to and from store) I might live farther away than simple economics would allow for to make an in person off the shelf purchase. And I may feel strongly enough about my wanting to buy the kilt that an above cost price is more easily justified to my household/wardrobing budget guideline.
I live about 2miles (just under 3k) from UK. But, when they move the store, they will be only about ten blocks away from me! I'm gonna like that!!!

btw, my Desert Camo Original in ripstop nylon was one of the last made. I understood them to be saying that that one would no longer be in production. It's also my favorite kilt of All my kilts.

I would go above msrp for another one. (excp 1 ab&c)

I wanted one of those rip-stop cammo UK's but waited too long before ordering one. A UK rep told me that they couldn't get that material any more ... they'll only make kilts out of material that is made in America and that material, even for the U.S. Military, is now made elsewhere, he said.

I love my UK's but they are just too heavy in this Texas heat ... I really wish those guys would get some kind of really light weight, easy breathing material to make some Originals out of. Of course, living in Seattle there just isn't much reason to do that.

How much ya want for that rip-stop kilt, Morrison?

Kilt On.

I'd like to entertain offers, or more aptly put, one perfect offer Chris. But Seattle is also an excellent showcase town! Thanks for the try bro, but I'll keep my camo and i'll be on the lookout for camo with you in mind.
I suppose there is some camo out there.

Depends if was a larger size, beer gut cuts, a discontinued color like that one, or if it was a truly original original, with pleats all the way around (collectors item?)...? And shipping's pretty high from utilikilt. I bought a couple of slightly used ones from the scratch 'n dent, and they're nice in that they have been washed and worn so that the stiffness is out.

Well the basic reason this one went for so much is probably because it is the Navy Blue UK (I know the pic looks black, but the description says blue). Navy UK's (as well as postal blue) are not available on the web site. You can only get one at an event. If there are no events near you (or even if there are, the two blues are still very rare on the rack), and you really want this color, you pay what you have to.

On the other hand, I just saw that Denim and Cammo are back available on the UK web site as is the white workman's (online ordering is still disabled though).
