I love the look of the narrow apron in front as opposed to a full hip to hip apron on a traditional style kilt. Every time I've dealt with them they have been professional and know their stuff... that being said, they really need to stop using some of the lighter weight fabrics on a few of the original models.. if you order another, and you choose a camo pattern, be prepared for a thin, light weight 100% cotton rip stop fabric. the poly/cotton twill is great.. the 100% cotton isn't. I'm not upset about spending a lot on my desert camo kilt, I just had hoped the fabric would have been like that on my Black original. 100% cotton will wrinkle very easy and requires ironing in order to look good. poly/cotton doesn't. in fact, my black original hasn't needed to be ironed in the last 3 years. after about 5 washings it was softer and running it through the dryer makes it come out nice and wrinkle free. (I know it says line dry but the dryer doesn't hurt it) enjoy your UK original... wear it with pride and enjoy the freedom.... Utilikilt is one of the best manufactures of modern kilts.
