So far, I really like it. The length was perfect. It was a bit bigger in the waist than expected; I followed the directions in the video. I could have gone one size smaller. One other thing--it needs a care label sewn in. The fabric did bleed on washing. Oops. So I'm washing it solo the first couple of times. Otherwise, I'm really liking it. I'll know about these things for my next one--

GREAT KILT! I really love my standard Wilderness kilts and thought I'd also like one made with a lighter material...so I special ordered a Wilderness kilt in black ripstop with the under apron pocket added, too. From order to door was about 3 weeks and the kilt is everything I hoped...AWESOME! Brice... time to put a ripstop Wilderness kilt in the regular line up, nice and light for jogging or working out as well as great for hiking and jumping in a lake too! As always, quality from UT Kilts.

Fantastic customer service, Brice emailed back and forth to ensure the sizing was correct before starting on it. The fit is perfect and the quality of the kilt is outstanding.

Item: Special order Night Fury version of the WILD Outdoor Kilt.
The Innovator of Utility Kilts is UtiliKilt. Without a doubt, they make a fine product. At $260-$300+, it better be a great product. I have one and love it.

Having said that, I also love my new Night Fury style WILD Outdoor Kilt as well. The contrasting colors in the Night Fury combination look very sharp. The grey stitching to match the grey accents on the belt loops and pockets add to the striking design.

Some advice on sizing: When Brice and UTKilt tell you to get the exact waist size as measured for the regular kilts and adjust down a bit for the WILD kilt, believe them. As luck would have it, I entered a diet alteration around the time I ordered the kilt. Special orders, says the website, take around four weeks to process. About four weeks and a one inch waist size reduction later, my new kilt arrived. It absolutely would have exactly correct at the waist size ordered. It was a bit looser than I would prefer at my current size (Who would have guessed a life style change would actually work, right?). The kilt is fine as it is, it just rides a little lower. I can definitely see that someone who orders the correct size and later gains weight has an advantage - that velcro closure will adjust up better than it will down.

For me at around 5.5 feet tall, a special order was a necessity - having previously ordered and returned a regular length kilt, a shorter length was a necessity. Wearing the 23 inch kilt made me look like I was auditioning for a part in "The Handmaid's Tale"! I ordered a 21.5 length which is much better. I might experiment with 21 next time.

A few words on pockets. The WILD kilts have very practical and large cargo pockets, able to hold a good bit and allow some good organization for smaller items. Because they are constructed so sturdily, I found the back pockets uncomfortably stiff when stitting. When wearing cargo shorts or cargo pants, I never use the back pockets anyway, removing them was a relief. Thank goodness, UTKIlts designed them so they could be removed. Driving the car is far more comfortable, and I still have so much room, I will never miss them unless I want to cart around an extra pair of beer cans or a couple more handfuls of nails. Speaking of pockets, the slash pockets rock. My UiliKilt Workman model does not have that feature, so kudos to UTKilts for one-upping the competition!

One other feature that gives the advantage to UTKilts over Utilikilt involves the material. My Utilikilt is built with extreme ruggedness in mind featuring a very heavy cotten duck cloth, similar in texture to heavy denim. For certain, it will wear long and hard. The UTKilt features a somewhat lighter cotton polyester blend. Someone who has worn a UTKilt for an extended period of time may testify that the addition of the polyester makes the material of equal wear resistance to the all cotton material of the competition. I do not know yet, but I can testify to this - the lighter material feels a LOT more comfortable next to my skin than the heavier cloth. To be honest I wear my kilts more for leisure than for working, so the issue of wear resistance is of little matter to me anyway. Additionally, my tender parts are happier when in contact with the UTKilt.

In only one area do I find the UTKilt suffers in comparison to the UtiliKIlt. The Front apron on the UTKilt is much wider than on the UtiliKilt. It is a matter of taste, but the narrower apron creates a more slimming look. This is, of course, a matter of taste and personal preference. Considering all of the features of both kilts, I will choose another UTKilt for my next kilt purchase. The fact that it costs about one third the price merely seals the deal.

This is my first real kilt because I'm not counting the ones from high school. I am so glad I bought this. I feel so free and cooler/warmer than traditional pants.

This was my first kilt, and I have no regrets! Well made at a great price!

This kilt is awesome! Customer service was extremely helpful, and the kilt got done pretty quick! I would definitely recommend getting this if you are looking for a kilt!
