Practikilt

cool errr, what does that mean?

When you or somebody else does or says something that you personally regret, typical procedure is to put your face to your palm.



Usually (and in this case,) it is meant in jest.

I am REALLY tempted by that Realtree camo Practikilt, though; are there any pictures at all of these things actually in use, or just the site photos?

Do you have a current link?

I found the actual PractiKilt website. Clicking this link is not recommended for the squeamish or those who appreciate aesthetically pleasing websites.

And no one rated the kilt.

I'll bet MuseumReplicas moderates the comments and ratings; maybe there were only negative comments?

I haven't heard a single good thing quality-wise about PractiKilts; why not make an xkilt with camo fabric? Just from looking off eBay for a couple minutes, the fabric should cost you about $20-40 USD ($22.738-45.476 CAD) total. I'm sure you can find it cheaper elsewhere, especially if you can get out of shipping and handling.

The PractiKilt website has no contact information. I tried calling MuseumReplicas for contact information, but the guy said he couldn't give it to me. I think I'll call back later with a list of questions; if you guys have any, post them and I'll add them to the list. Also, if anyone has contact information, please post it so I can talk to them directly.

Rawlinson,

I think you're chasing shadows. I was familiar with the Practikilt website, but for a long time its been nothing but dead links, hence my original thought they were no longer for sale. I could be mistaken but I believe the company was just the brand name for the modern kilt being manufactured for Museum Replicas, which is now selling its little remaining stock.

Nothing to see here, move along . . .

Best regards,

Jake

I have 2 Practikilts (1) Avenger--black, (2) Islander--khaki in size medium (36-38). Both were ordered from Museum Replicas nearly 4 years ago. When they arrived I tried them on and because of the size spread they did not fit at all. I took them to a local tailor and had them taken in, now they fit just fine. They're not bad for a Utilikilt knock-off. If you're looking for a canvas kilt, but can't afford a Utilikilt, Freedom Kilt, Union Kilt, etc then the Practikilt is a good choice or make your own which you can definately do for a lot less money. When I get the chance, I will post pictures including the always required pleat shot.

I have no experience with a needle and thread outside of emergency repairs that don't need to look pretty; do you think I'd just be better off with a Practikilt, or would that need some expertise to be properly modified?

Museum Replicas seems to be pretty limited on sizes for everything but the Camo designs; they may not have what you want anyway.

To bad. I'm at the top of my weight range and don't fit a lot of my kilts right now; at $49, I'd have given the large Badland and the Outlaw a try as something to wear while I "reduce."

I think Windlass Steelcrafts, who seems to be Museum Replicas Limited's main manufacturer, also operates out of India.

EDIT:
Windlass Steelcrafts does operate out of India. Also, Practikilts are listed under Windlass Costumes, starting on page 8 (some of the shirts come earlier; it's an alphabetical listing). It seems that Practikilt belongs to Windlass Costumes, though perhaps, at one time, it was independent.
