Cargo Skirts for Guys
6ABC ^

Posted on 09/23/2005 10:18:08 AM PDT by Cagey

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.

"The thicker material of the utilkilt provides more protection... but you know how they say real men wear them."

There was a Utilikilt vendor at the Dublin (Ohio) Irish Festival this past year and they did a great business. It's a big festival and I saw more than a few (close to a lot) of men wearing kilts of some sort.

BTW - The kilt is a Scottish garment, not an Irish garment. Irish men wore a leine (pron. lawn-YUH).

Looks like a groomed standard poodle, doesn't he?

Well, he's 6'4" and weighs 360 pounds, so no, he doesn't look much like a poodle. I don't have a photo of him in the kilt but he looks a little bit like this guy:

but with a full head of hair and a beard. I wouldn't advise you to call him a poodle to his face. He carries a .380. :)

It's about being a CONFIDENT heterosexual, I can wear anything I want and anybody that has a problem with a large, confident man wearing what he feels comfortable with probably has his own sexuality questions to answer. Trousers are for boys that think their manhood needs a hug!

If you are wearing a weapon, it's a kilt. If you aren't, I'm afraid you are just a guy in a skirt.

Old curmudgeon motorcycle riders prefer black Levi's.

That's it. Black Levi's.

Cruising up and down Main Street 4 or 5 times on bikenight wearing a kilt and no drawers might be OK for some.

But ain't no way I'm giving an 80mph future dead bug a chance at a nut shot! no no no!

Maybe on November 30th, when I have a fine scotch in one hand, and a club in the other (golf). THE Glenlivet Debate
