Thanked: 11Slight correction they were Unionkilts not Utilikilts, and Utilikilts are even more different - they use a stitched box pleat design rather than the traditional pressed pleat. They are as much a skirt as the small kilt normally worn today is.
I'll have you know most of the time I get a lot of compliments on my Utilikilt, obviously the there are incidents with NEDS being abusive - but that would happen with a normal kilt, there was also a recent occurrence of a 6 year old girl asking their dad why I was wearing a skirt.
You're right about the weight, at least mine is a lightweight cotton twill (lighter than denim) but the fact that I can chuck it in the washing machine makes it possible to wear on a daily basis if I want to. But as you say nothing much can replace the feel of wearing a "proper" kilt.
