I have two UK's (woodland camo and olive) and one Alphakilt, and I'm just about to order another AaK.

The material is heavy duty 12.5 oz, stiffer than UK originals, but not as stiff as a workman. Strangely the AaK weighs a pound less--it seems to have less material in the waist and fell areas. I thought there would be less yardage in the AaK, but on measuring both it turned out to be very close--about 4 1/2 yards. In the UK there seems to be more material in the pleats, and less in the narrow apron, where the AaK has more material sewn up in the apron to weight it down.

The AaK doesn't come in as many color or material options as the UK, but they do offer knife or box pleats, and optional outside pockets (detachable another option).

That's all I can think of for now.
