This one is much better - just the normal Utilikilt pleat buck which is part of a Utilikilt. The pictures are after I unboxed it and adjusted on the laces and put it on. Some of the wonkyness of the pleats should improve with wearing and hanging. The lacing on each side is in two parts - the waist section and the sewdown section. I am finding that the adjustable pleats work best if the waist lace section is snugger than the sewdown section. There is no extra reversed pleat in the underapron as on a cloth Utilikilt - Don't think they are needed here. Both aprons have the more standard hidden double pleat. (Standard for narrow apron kilts.) You may note the rear pockets are optional and due to evil experience with traditional kilts
, I opted not to have them - nice clean back. The front pockets work quite well and don't gape open like the ones on the Facebook pictures did. Be aware that if the lower section laces are too snug you will have a pretty tight entry into the pockets. Like the other Utilikilts, when you sit the pockets fall to the inside of your legs and access to the pockets is easy sitting. They are the same depth as other Uks - my finger tips just reach the bottoms of the pockets without bending over. Overall I am real happy with my purchase and the service I got once I convinced them the standing pleat was more than normal bucking. They still do really care.
The pictures:
I didn't get the rear pockets but this is what they look like:
I see I still need to get the leftside lacing correct.
Cheers.
