Utilikilts

[Tobus]

Hey Tobus,
Interesting two buckle ranger belt. Looks good. Are those gaters you've made or found?

I made the belt, but the leggings are WWII vintage US Army surplus. I discussed them here (thread now locked due to age). I also have a shorter US Marine pattern, also WWII vintage, that you can see here. Very useful when you live in cactus/mesquite country!

I don't like wearing any kilt (including my Utilikilt) with the scrunched-down sock look or with otherwise exposed lower legs. Despite all my efforts, I just can't seem to grow my calves into any muscular shape, and they always look like bird legs. And since regular kilt hose look funny to me with a Utilikilt (not to mention they don't hold up well to working outside), I usually wear these leggings.
