    Long time no post, but...

    I've FINALLY been initiated into the world of Utilikilt ownership.

    About 3 weeks ago, a friend of mine texted me a picture of the UK storefront in Seattle. I informed her of my dislike for her (spoken, jealously), and jokingly told her to buy me a black Mocker with a 40 waist and a 23.5 drop. A little later, I received a phone call on my cell phone from a restricted number. I never answer such calls, so I ignored it. A few minutes later, my friend (the first friend's husband) called me and asked, "Why didn't you answer your phone just now?"
    "How'd you know I had a phone call? It came up as restricted so I ignored it."
    "Dude, it was the clerk here at the Utilikilt store. He wanted to know how you knew precisely what size you need."
    "Umm... I've only been wanting one since I found out about them in 2005!"

    Long story short... they ended up buying me a heather colored Mocker (they didn't have black in my size). I now desire more UKs!

    Oh... and UKs are especially comfortable when being worn at a Dropkick Murphys concert... which is exactly what happened on Tuesday night!

    UK has found another loyal customer!

    A UK Mocker was my first kilt and it got me hooked! Mine is olive green, but I'll have to check out the heather color.
    FREEDOM!

    The heather is a darker gray color. I like it, a lot.

    Welcome to the club. My first kilt was a heather mocker! I have since passed it to my best friend and got him hooked on kilts too.

    The mocker is not my first kilt. It's just my first Utilikilt. I've been wearing kilts for almost 5 years now. Never got around to buying a UK, though. Now that I have one... I WANT MORE!! lol

    Last night, I wore my UK and my Dropkick Murphys tour tee out to dinner... the cashier gave us $10 off just because I was wearing said outfit! Then we got my 10% military discount!

    I love kilts!
