The 5.11 "kilt story" is a two-year thing.
2012, April 1, 5.11 posted a video on their site of a black-cargo-kilted, fit, athletic young man thoroughly exercising a "Tactical Duty Kilt."
'Turns out, this was an April Fool's Day prank which backfired on 5.11; they immediately received thousands of orders for the TDK.
Being rather classy (and good businesspeople), 5.11 promptly manned-womaned up, custom-accepting orders, creating an immediate "urban legend" product. Condition of sale; orders were prepaid and delivery was five months later, September.
2013 April, 5.11 again made the offer, same terms, pre-order only, featuring more fabrics, not tongue-in cheek and received again, thousands of orders.
The 2013 TDKs are in process of being delivered as this is e-penned.
Only thought is, watch the 5.11 site late next March to see if they make the annual offer-preorder again.
Or you might as The Rabble, if anyone wants to sell one in your (jeans/cargo pants) size.
