SEATTLE-September 19, 2005 - Picture a cargo skirt – for guys. That's the idea behind the Utilikilt.
Steven Villegas created the first Utilikilt for himself while restoring a motorcycle. He says pants were too uncomfortable to wear. So, he fashioned a kilt out of some old army pants.
Now, he's making cargo kilts for guys who are willing to be different and show off their legs. The Seattle entrepreneur says he's selling about 12,000 Utilikilts a year at prices up to $230 each.
There's nothing frilly about the Utilikilts. They have tool pockets and a loop for a hammer. Of course what you wear under a kilt is no one's business.
But kilt fans say the traditional way is to leave nothing between you and the breeze.
Curious.
Oh well....
There is a book on it:
And out of it.
God bless the U.S.A.!!!! (Best picture ever!)
They should do the same with California, and probably Oregon. But why do the libs get all the cool real estate?
I don't think these look that bad either - they are definitely kilts, not skirts. A proper looking kilt actually looks very masculine. I attend Renaissance fairs frequently and see lots of men wearing kilts. They look anything but sissy. Interestingly some women (especially lesbians) wear male kilts to these events as well. Women who wear kilts actually end up looking very odd and butch. Kilts are totally masculine in my eyes.
GOD I love that picture!!! LOL
MM
Ummm...those aren't men!
Laddie. . . .
. . .it's nae a skirt, it's a KILT. It's Scottish, and as ye know, if it's nae Scottish. . . . it's CRAAAAAAAAAAP!
LOL!!!
The truth comes out!
W00T!
And we'll merge with North Idaho and Western Montana as well.
Um, I don't know any men that would wear one. Do you?
I did for a while til the neighbors complained that it was upsetting the livestock.
If it's good enough for him, it's good enough for me.
You don't know me but I would wear one just so I could answer the question, "What do you wear under that kilt?"
"Shoes and socks..."
I'll pass ~ I only wear long pants, always have, even when I'm working on motorcycles.
( ~~ and I'm 1/4 Scot) ;)
Old curmudgeon motorcycle riders prefer black Levi's.
Ride fast and avoid fools!
About that time two young and lovely girls just happend by
And one says to the other with a twinkle in her eye
See yon sleeping Scotsman so strong and handsome built
I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt
Ring ding diddle diddle I de oh ring di diddly I oh
I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt
They crept up on that sleeping Scotsman quiet as could be
Lifted up his kilt about an inch so they could see
And there behold, for them to see, beneath his Scottish skirt
Was nothing more than God had graced him with upon his birth
Ring ding diddle diddle I de oh ring di diddly I oh
Was nothing more than God had graced him with upon his birth
They marveled for a moment, then one said we must be gone
Let's leave a present for our friend, before we move along
As a gift they left a blue silk ribbon, tied into a bow
Around the bonnie star, the Scots kilt did lift and show
Ring ding diddle diddle I de oh ring di diddly I oh
Around the bonnie star, the Scots kilt did lift and show
Now the Scotsman woke to nature's call and stumbled towards a tree
Behind a bush, he lift his kilt and gawks at what he sees
And in a startled voice he says to what's before his eyes.
O lad I don't know where you been but I see you won first prize
Ring ding diddle diddle I de oh ring di diddly I oh
O lad I don't know where you been but I see you won first prize
My husband wears one on occasion.
~smiling~
"A man in a kilt is a man and a half"
I don't believe they had black Levi's in 1200 Scotland. >:-}
