5.11 TDK is back

**Couper** · 24th April 15, 10:12 AM

Unfortunately, their sales page does not offer assorted lengths. I'm also surprised that they do not mention the length of the "one length fits all garment." (At least I didn't see it. But, it's been a long week.)

I'm ready to order a second utility kilt - so I'll be going back to AmeriKilt. There I can order by waist size and length. I have this one (Black): http://www.amerikilt.com/shop/amerikilts/black-2/ - available in 15 waist sizes (measured at jeans waist) and three lengths. The best part is that my wife wants me to order the olive version and then the saffron one. Who am I to argue, eh?

I just ordered two. One in Battle Brown and one in Black.

They went up by $20, didn't they?

Once you get to the actual kilt page, on the right hand side there is a t-shirt. "Kilt Pride Tee".
Click on that and there's a page with a fellow wearing the t-shirt with a logo that reads "Tactical Kilt Federation".

He is wearing trousers.

Battle Brown, MultiCam and Storm are $20 more. The others - last years colors - are $10 more.

How badly do they wrinkle when you sit down? I have a utility kilt that wrinkles horribly when I sit down, though in my case I'm getting what I paid for.

Just ordered a Multicam; 'have khaki, OD, "coyote" from previous years (2012 and 13).

THEY ARE OUT OF THE KILT T-SHIRT IN XL ALREADY!? Wuzzup wif dat noize?

Oh, wait, it must be; tactical kilts are hip (yay) and trendy (boo).

In this opinion, the 5.11 TDK is THE best cheap non-tartan beat em' up kilt on the market.

As an astute observer stated earlier, the 5.11 TDK replaces for most reasonable weather, cargo pants and shorts.

Nick, I haven't had any real wrinkle issues with my TDKs. But I am in the habit of sweeping pleats. These poly cotton blends are quite good and not getting wrinkles or pleat edge curls. It doesn't seem to matter whether hang dried or machine dried (lowest heat).

Just received the multicam, it could become the new fave 5.11.

Re the length issue, on this writer, length is fine with waistband at normal kilt length, 1 inch above navel. It appears a competent tailor could probably shorten by turning the hem or re-hem this garmet; after all, it's (basically) unbifurcated ripstop cargo shorts.

'Never experienced wrinkling or binding with this garment, but am of "genreic build, so" maybe it was "bespoke by default." And dijja ever notice how severely wrinkled a lot of folks' cargo shorts are?

Likewise. But I like to wear my cargo/contemporary/casual kilts at jeans height, so I'll be shortening by 2".
