I found them on... eBay! New made by a fella name of Gleisner, whose wife does the selling. Goes by neddie_22.

The cotton tan one is visually like an Amerikilt, with snaps and d-rings, but none of the other features. The other, in black poly/cotton twill, much simpler. Both use velcro for waist adjustment, and have about 6" of stitching holding the outer edges of the pleats, which is fine by me.

I can see from wearing these where and how most of the distinctive features have developed on the other alternakilts.

Now I'm looking for a clean 1.75"x34" brown leather belt and suitable buckle... I know that's a thread elsewhere.
