Camouflage Kilts By Varusteleka

For those who may be in the market for a camo pattern kilt without cargo pockets, some new options to consider--once you get past the nauseously cheesy writing on the product description page--from this Finnish provider of high quality military kit: https://www.varusteleka.com/en/product/jama-kilt/64426

I visit their site even when I am not in need of anything just to read their ads. I love these guys!

What I like about that kilt is that they maintained the horizontal orientation of the camo pattern.

While some camo patterns look more or less the same whichever way you turn the fabric, other camo patterns have horizontal stripes.

Unfortunately most utility kilt makers flip the the fabric sideways so the stripes go vertically.

They also are rather small for us portly americans

I have to say it - they are not well shaped and do not hang well. They are too tight at the upper hip, which is why there are horizontal creases on the aprons which just say 'fitting fault' to anyone with even dressmaking skills, let alone the tailoring which ought to be the level at which kilt makers function.

My kilts have an extra 2 inches at the waist, 3 inches in total measurement, then as the waist is strengthened it is eased in evenly all round so that there is no sausage skin effect in that upper part of the kilt.

It should look straight, but not be.

Even if you can get your size, you will have the horizontal creases.

No word about any pockets...guess not...way too long for me... gotta love folks diving in to the kilt world though...even if they're kinda wild about it.

Having served in the US Armed Forces, I would prefer to wear a US Pattern.About 12 years ago, SportsKilt offered the Vietnam Tiger Stripe Pattern which I really liked (I served in the 7th Fleet at the end of that conflict), but could not affored at the time. Now, I can afford it - but they no longer offer it. Errgh!

I bought a camouflage kilt. I hung it up in my closet and I haven't seen the damn thing ever since...

Oh - now you mention it I also seem to recall having one, at one time.

I'm not sure if it's the cut, sizing, fabric, or what. I'm not moved in a positive direction by them either.
