    Just rec'd my grodygoose desert camo "kilt" yesterday. I think I rather like it...very loose and unconstructed feeling. The pleats will take constant attention and some serious starching (because its basically BDU cotton and very soft)or I'll have to sew them in. But I'm going to like this "kilt" for "ultra-casual" wear. And it should look good with my Polish army belt and brown buzzkidder country sporran. The kilt DID smell a bit "funny"--old cigarettes and patchouli oil reminding me of the last Renaissance Fair I was forced to attend...

    If your going to wear it for VERY casual or for a "knock around", grunge kilt, I wouldn't worry about sewing down the pleats. That's part of the feel and look of old BDU's, sort of like my old, salty cammies that I cut into shorts with the loose threads fraying out all over the place. And at that price point, decent deal.

    I don't however like the cargo pockets on the front of the thigh. That would drive me nuts if I actually had anything in them.

    Enjoy the kilt and Welcome to the neighborhood

    By the way, how was their delivery time and service?

    That's the second time I've heard this about their kilts. You think they'd wash them.

    Most smokers have lost their sense of smell, at least where smoke residue is concerned. And the rest don't seem to care
