I probably get more miles out of my Mountain Hardwear kilts than Utilikilts these days. The comfort is remarkable. You mentioned self-belt on them. My first MH kilt was a size too large, but not unwearable. It became subject to experimentation. Since I don't like the long hem dragging over sweaty knees on uphill hikes I got busy with scissors and sewing machine. I removed a couple of inches from the hem. Then, I took the trimmings and fashioned belt loops. (I like to have a belt to hang phone and Leatherman tool.) I had enough left over for loops on the smaller sized -Med- MH kilt, too. The large is just for hikes, fishing, or canoeing. Perfect. I don't give a thought or care about male contours. Sports costumes don't either. I am what I am and people can get used to it.
You don't get to judge me by your standards. I have to judge me by mine.

I wonder if you'd get more useful answers and more of them if this was moved to the Contemporary Kilt Wear Subforum. We can do that if you like.

Done. I'll leave a temporary re-direct here too.

The Mountain Hardwear Elkommando is great, but I don't think they make it anymore. I did not find the two I have on the Mountain Hardwear website, I got them off Amazon.
When hiking or camping I completely agree, but I do wear my kilts to the office and would like to wear my Mountain Hardwear kilts as well. At the office, obviously, what I think doesn't keep me out of the HR office! hehe
I think my one sporran looks out of place with anything but my traditional Black Watch Kilt, so I rarely wear it and haven't seen any other sporrans that really go with the style of my other kilts. I do have a small 511 tactical molle pouch that I've tried to figure out how to use in place of a sporran but it just seems a little to bulky.
