    Guess I've been pretty lucky, paid attention to the feedback on this board.

    Before I got here I had two Utilikilts with problems. A tan original that the hem unravelled in the first washing. Took it to a local seamstress who fixed it. Shouldn't have had to. My blue denim UK original arrived with a bad snap on the apron where its supposed to penetrate seven levels of denim...a chore for any snap. They sent me replacement snaps and I had to buy a snap setter tool kit. Shouldn't have had to. That was back when UK was farming out their sewing and not inspecting the finished products well before shipping them to customers.

    And before I got here I bought two SportKilts - the gathered, pleated to the random kind in one length (too long for my short legs). Only a kilt pin seems to get them to look anything like a kilt. They are better when my lady wears them as a long tartan skirt. And, they arrived reeking of cigarette smoke. And, with a belly like mine the only thing that funny little front waist pocket is good for is to cut off and make flashes out of it.
