It is a khaki colored Amerikilt and I just got my hands on it today - it arrived yesterday and was at the apartment office.
I tried it on out of the box and it felt wonderful. It seemed just a little lighter than the Utilikilts to which I am accustomed but much softer. The only thing I didn't like about it was when I sat down it didn't behave nicely like a UK.
In a UK when I sit down and spread my legs the apron falls into place and everything is covered. In the Amerikilt when I sat down the apron DID NOT fall into place and when I tried to push it down the kilt got much shorter. I had this same thing happen with the Stillwater Nighstalker Standard. Worse yet, with the Amerikilt when I would spread my legs a little more I was once again showing too much.
I guess now I appreciate my even Utilikilts more.
Even more mysterious - after washing the kilt when I hung it up to dry and was smoothing out the fabric, the outside pleats are sewn down but the inside pleats don't even exist - they are not even creased. How can a kilt be half pleated? I'm very confused. :confused:
However, I seems like it will be a very comfortable kilt for long walks.
Oh....and they sure did give me a whole lot of business cards. My goodness! I had business cards falling out all over the couch and the floor. I don't even think I know that many people!
Now I just hope that kilts number 9 and 10 get here soon. Then my collection will be complete.
