I have a corduroy Pittsburgh Kilt. While I'm happy with the kilt, I don't think corduroy is the best material for the job. Corduroy has a good memory: if you sit down then stand up, the kilt keeps standing up. In short, wear it with a sporran.
A corduroy UK might be a different story, though; they tend to have thicker, narrower aprons and might not have the same problem.

I have two corduroy kilts, and have had for some time. One is from TFCK in Edinburgh and the other is from UnionKilts in Wales. (There are photos in my Album but unfortunately it is still down with server problems - as is Ron's). As with all the kilts in my Kollection, I just love the corduroys. They are a little too warm for British summer wear - unless we are having a typical English summer day (cool and cloudy;)), but are superb for spring and autumn. I was surprised at how well the fabric holds the pleats - but I haven't got either of them wet in the rain yet!! Obviously, the Utilikilts' version will have the pleats sewn in from waist to hem, so pleat-holding will not be a problem.
I'd be ordering one for myself - I like the look of the blue model - but Utilikilts are accepting only 'phone orders at the moment ...... and I am NOT making expensive calls from the United Kingdom. I'll wait for their on-line facility to come back!

I have one of the AK cords, dont know the color as I'm colorblind and they are both close to each other in shade (or were, as I got mine when they first came out) and it has held up well to my abuse.

Tan Corduroy Kilt
Kilted newbie here....but I just got my tan corduroy UK in the mail yesterday and it's incredibly...one of those that you can definitely dress up with an oxford shirt and tie and dress down as well...incredibly comfortable and soft...I wore it down to the grocery store (in about 18 degree weather) and was definitely fine in it....
