My 4th Pittsburgh Kilt

[Ugly Bear]

I got another one from Pittsburgh Kilts about a month ago. This one's in Predator camouflage, with a few modifications.

First, I wanted a traditional-styled kilt with the buckles at the waist and hip, yet I wanted it to be machine-washable and easy-to-use. So I got them in military-style quick-release clips.

Second, I wanted a zipper in the under-apron pocket. Now I can sprint without losing my spare change.

After a month of use and washing, I can tell it's just as high-quality as my other PK kilts. I like this kiltmaker.

Nice kilt UglyBear!

That underapron pocket would be really handy. Good thinking with the zipper.

What a great looking kilt!! What great kilt features that you are showing!

[Alaskan]

Those clips are increadibly cool!
Now I want a kilt with clips like that!

UB great kilt, like the clips and the pattern, your against the wind pic reminded me of a day on scafell pike. I leaned into the wind till I was at 45 degrees to the floor with no danger of falling.
Alaskan!!!?? can I believe my eyes, you want clips like those. I remember when you first posted with a very limited/traditional view of kilts, can a paisley pattern in chinese silk be in the offing
Cheers Rhino

UB, great Kilt! I think I might have to treat myself to a Kilt like that one of these days. And to top it all you you have such a great smile in your picture !
Cheers!

No, Rhino... I don't think I will be getting any paisly patterned kilts in Chinese silk. I still have a limited view of what I would call kilts, and I still don't have any interest in a non-tartan kilt, but I have come to understand the value of a machine washable kilt... and those clips are just so cool!

A poly/vis tartan kilt with clips like that would be great for the times when I need to wear a kilt I can throw in the washer.

Those clips are called snap buckles around here. I used them on one kilt and they are pretty handy.

Very Nice Kilt Looks Sarp.
I have thought about a poscket like that but on the inside of the "inside appron" with just a zipper showing if the front appron was lifted.

UB, great Kilt! I think I might have to treat myself to a Kilt like that one of these days.

Yeah, the clips are great. They're more adjustable than standard straps-'n'-buckles, and easier to use, too.

In this setup, however, they're not QUITE traditional. I'm talking about the buckle on the left waist. In a traditional kilt, the strap will stick through an eyehole in the waist, connecting the under-apron to the outer section. Getting a clip through the waist would require a pretty serious hole in the waist, one that might limit the life of the kilt.

So I cheated. The left-waist buckle sits on the outside of the kilt, and the area is held together by a series of hooks underneath. But it does have a side effect: the left-waist buckle performs like the extendable loop in a UK Workman's. Just snap it apart, extend it, and lock it onto something. It's a good place for me to hang my hat.

And to top it all you you have such a great smile in your picture !

Thanks! Not too many people can tell when I'm smiling, but you seem to have a discerning eye.
