Incredible analysis!

I can only add a little, but it has significant implications for those who do more that just walk about in their kilts.

I work in construction every day in a SportKilt. I've tried other kilts, but the SportKilt, 4 layered, narrow apron is the most practical design I've tried. The 4 layers provide ample protection from materials, nails, etc... and the narrow apron falls between your legs to provide coverage with out any help from your hands.

When the apron covers past the center of your thighs it simply will not fall between your legs by itself. Of course, the SportKilt is designed with 'sport' in mind.

The SportKilt is damned near windproof in the front, keeps it's pleats even when wet, and washes back to near original color time after time after time. Except for Cammo, which fades noticably wash after wash.

The waist band of the Sport kilt allows for expansion and contraction of your waist, not just because of weight loss or gain, but also due to shirts tucked in or out, waist folded over to allow the kilt to be shorter and cooler, and VERY easy removal in case of an emergency (intrusion of ants into kilt, unexpected receipt of toxic or flamable liquids and, of course, the unexpected arrival of your amourous girlfriend).

I have put SportKilts through just about the most extreme tests available in the field and they have won the right to be my single supplier of work kilts. In terms of comfort and cost they are even better at work than a Utilikilt, although I usually wear a Utilikilt Workman to Chamber of Commerce functions and the like ... it's the Levi's of kilts, after all, and the business ladies just go nuts over it.

Anyway, mine is not near the analysis provided, but I have come to really appreciate SportKilt as a company, kilt, and even a friend. As many of their kilts as I buy and wear, well, they just treat me great.

Kilt On!
