    Unsorted Facts, Q&A and a Review from the UK board:


    Assorted Facts:

    Spartans are currently on the rack, and shipping.

    They are pleated with UKs Patented Symmetrical Pleating System, but the
    waistband is 3 inch wide and elastic, with a drawstring. Just like pro
    Boxer's trunks. The UK "Six Snap" logo is center front on the waistband
    (just like Boxer's trunks), and there are two vertical silver stripes
    from the hip to the hemline on both sides, on all three colors.

    Inside, there is a "floating apron" which is connected at the
    waistband, and hangs loose inside the kilt in front of your johnson.
    This provides another layer of fabric to decrease your... erm...
    "profile" in front. ;-)

    The only pocket is a small zippered pocket over the right butt cheek,
    where you can keep some cash or a credit card, house/car keys, and
    condoms. The bare necessities!

    The overall look of the kilt is sleek and sporty, and the shiny fabric
    gives it a feeling of being just slightly flashy, too.

    We have photos of it now, and those will be appearing on the website
    soon.

    Spartan.....
    Here's the size break down for the Spartans.
    Sm = 30-33
    Md = 34-37
    Lg = 38-41
    Xl = 42-46
    2x = 47-52
    3x = 53-60

    Base price is $95, they have the traditional UK sewn pleats just
    attached to an elastic waistband. Sizes run Small, Med, Large,
    XLarge, and then the normal 21.5, 23. 24.5 lengths.


    Q & A from UK board:

    QUESTION: What colors do they come in? And if the material is so light
    weight, won't the slightest wind cause you to have a Marilyn Monroe
    monent?

    ANSWER: I'd noticed in mine this weekend that because the material is also
    somewhat sheer the wind just passes through it. It still will blow
    around a bit but when I jumped off the back of my truck with it, it
    ballooned no more than any of my other kilts of the way down. Because
    the wind can go right through the material it doesnt have as much push.


    REVIEW from UK board:

    So whats a Spartan?

    A Spartan is like wearing pure naked bliss. Its awesome. I got mine
    Saturday as I worked Long Beach Pride, and it was worth the wait (not
    that I havent been bugging them for it for several months)

    Elastic waistband with a draw string, step in variety not the familiar
    wrap and snap. It has the trademark six snaps on the front apron but
    they are for looks only, just sort of deadhead snaps to dress it up.

    The material is a super lightweight nylon, SUPER lightweight. Very
    very finely meshed. You cant see the holes of the mesh but they let
    every little bit of breeze through on a hot day.

    Current models have one, right side rear pocket with a zipper, just
    perfect for stashing your house key, I.D., and maybe a couple bucks
    cash as you head out for a jog.

    Now one of the coolest things about the Spartan is the inside flap it
    has. Try to stay with me as I explain it. Right inside the front of
    the waistband, just under the centered UK logo on the waistband is a
    strip of the material about 4 inches wide and just a few inches
    shorter than the length of the kilt. Its free hanging except for
    where it is attached at the very top. Now, where you to grab your
    apron and lift it up, 'exposing' yourself what would really happen is
    that the fabric strip would still be hanging directly between your
    legs providing cover. Same deal if you happened to be sitting on the
    quad sled machine at the gym and bent your knees on the downstroke.
    That little strip is going to prevent you from getting your gym
    membership revoked and criminal charges filed.

    I've got the red right now and its hot. Sort of a maroon/burgundy
    color, a nice dark red. Its also available in black and a bright
    green. Now only if they had royal blue... (Duke colors)
