Utilikilts

[Mike in Dayton]

I got a Utilikilt back in 2008. It fits just above my hips which puts a slope in the waist and therefore the hem. That drove me nuts so I changed the hem to make it parallel with the ground. It came out fine but the thing was a little short to begin with in the back. It is now straight but a little too short. So I wear this one when doing projects around the house. (no I won't post any pictures). I found another on Ebay that turned out was manufactured in 2005. There is a difference between the two. For example, the snaps on the 2008 go up to the top. The top two are under the belt. On the 2005 model the snaps start below the belt. If I don't have on a belt the upper couple of inches is hanging free. I am going to add some snaps or at least Velcro. The 2005 model is also way too long for me. The waist is correct but the length is not. I knew that when I got it so I planned on shortening the hem and also make sure it is parallel with the ground. Another project on the project list.
