Under Apron On Modern Kilts

But if I'm getting more crotch security with Brice's product I will just snag another, especially given that it's 15 dollars cheaper and comes in tartan.

I wear a utility kilt most every day after work and on weekends. The 5.11 is not very modest or practical to sit in even with the modesty snap. I no longer wear the UT because of how much it wrinkles. I prefer to buy used Utilikilts to save $$$. Would love to have one of Steve's custom Kilts made perhaps for my 60th birthday.

That was my major issue with my black UTs: they're advertised as cotton-poly, but the tag -- and tendency to wrinkle -- indicate that they're 100% cotton, and thus did I prefer the viscose-acetate tartan models (though again, advertised as polyviscose

). I retired the black ones and eventually wound up cannibalizing them for the straps to replace the leather ones on my Sport Kilt so I could put it in the dryer as well as the washer. Of course, now that I finally got around to purchasing some PV fabric, I'll be retiring the tartan UTs as well as my new ones are completed.

Interesting. I wear the 5.11 fairly frequently, and in the company of my wife. If I were being immodest, she would raise cain with me. And i haven't noticed taking any additional effort to be modest. I wonder what is causing the differing results.
