Cargo Skirts for Guys

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."

Speaking of terrible trends in clothing, I loathe those bermuda shorts that girls wear now. Those are the most hideous things on this earth.

(Kind of fits in with the other thread)

NONONONONONONO! Men don't wear skirts!!

guess men like to "hang it out to dry" just as much as we do.

"Why do they call it a 'kilt'".
"Because that's what happened to the first guy who called it a skirt."

My husband has a Utilikilt. It's not a "skirt." He looks great in it.

Seattle.


Of course.


I swear they need to split this state at the Cascades into the state of Eastern Washington and the state of Western Washington. All the fruits and nuts can stay in Western, the rest of us relatively normal Americans can stay in or move to Eastern.

Once he's saturated the cross-dressing population, what then?

[Dashing Dasher]

That's disturbing to me.

[peacebaby]

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

[My2Cents]

They should do the same with California, and probably Oregon. But why do the libs get all the cool real estate?

[Dashing Dasher]

Ickkkky.

I feel the need for a strong man picture....

And he wears that in Georgia? That's just wrong.

A set of 20 perfectly pedicured toes? That's the tip-off -- metros are freaks!

My goodness. I just love a man in uniform!
