    Hey Gil,
    Is that the older sort of gunmetal gray one? Because we do have a heather gray Mocker regularly in stock now, and it is a WONDERFUL material. A poly/cotton blend like the other Mockers (machine washable!), but it feels like a fine suit-quality wool. I LOVE mine.

    It's on the website if you want to check it out.

    I'm very happy with my (olive) mocker, which I got for my wedding last August. Being allergic to wool, I'm not sure I can go the traditional wool route, and I'm hoping Santa might bring me another UK for Christmas, if I don't get another for my birthday. It's very comfortable, and I think it looks great - I just need to get around to figuring out how to post some of my wedding pictures.

    gunmetal gray..

    CJ, sorry it took me days to answer your question!!
    YES, it's the gun metal gray. WHAT a fabric!
    i suspect the carmel work kilt is possibly heavier..i hope so, but with all the talk about the black original, i'm getting the jones again...
    so, the heather grey sounds great, and i WANT one!! , no that's three now..

    i'm in trouble..

    Have a olive mocker, wanted the gunmetal grey one (sorry, but the charcoal heather just doesn't come close enough to my uniform pants color to replace them - the olive does!)... so when the gunmetal went away I was sad.

    But it's a great product (in whatever color/fabric you decide upon)! As has been said repeatedly up-thread, it's a great way for folks to "test the waters" and see if they want to pay the freight for a more traditional kilt.

    My next? A Matthew Newsome 4-yard box pleated traditional in MacLaren Ancient! (Should be here within the next six weeks...)

    I've now got three Originals: tan corduroy, olive, and tan. They're great, and what gave me the courage to wear a tartan kilt.

    Now, perhaps for a UK Survival...

    ...and something from Freedom Kilts, and something from USA Kilts, and something from Stillwater Kilts, and the list goes on.

    I've got two Original UK's, a black one and an olive one.

    My 14 year old got his first kilt this year too. It was really cool taking him down to the UK store and letting him pick one out then walking around downtown for a while afterward.

    Given a choice between a UK and an Ipod, he chose the UK. I predict he will be a man of style.

    I've also got a sport kilt. It's just as comfortable as a UK, but only has one pocket just inside the apron, not the enough-to-hold-a-six pack cargo space of my UK.

    I've noticed that Sport Kilt is making one in the Army's new ACU pattern. For the record, they have the pattern sideways.

    Hey KIS,

    I'm jealous you're so close to the mother-ship. Allow me to be the first to say

    Best regards,
