5 loveable features of utility kilts

Modern utility kilts come in a range of fabrics such as wool, leather, pure cotton and cotton blends so you can easily get one in the type of fabric you prefer to suit the environment you’re working in.

Some of the lovable features of utility kilts are:

1.     Pure comfort

Men love their utility kilts because they are just so comfortable to wear. Kilts hang from the lower belly a fraction below your navel or belly button. Because of this there is no restriction on movement.

Utility kilts are also proving popular with the women in your life, they give you a great look and show style, but the ladies also like to wear them as they offer them the same great advantages and comfort levels as they do for men

2.    More room

Pants of any type can be restrictive, most men just do not realize how much because they haven’t experienced the freedom of wearing a real kilt. A kilts utility is perfect for action and working outdoors as well as when participating in sports as you get more room for your legs and a greater amount of possible movement

3.    Airflow

Pants restrict the airflow around the upper legs and groin area; this can cause discomfort, especially in warmer weather when the body starts to sweat as you work. Wearing a kilt allows for good air flow around the family jewels which is as Mother Nature intended and much healthier with a fresher feeling

4.    Fully Adjustable

During the day your body adjusts and settles, pants that grip around the buttocks and waist area do not allow for your natural body changed through the day. A kit can be adjusted in seconds as you're wearing it to suit your personal size variations, as they happen during the day. Unlike most pants they can also be adjusted for different sizes so you won’t lose out if you decide to diet and loose a bit or you gain a few pounds over the holidays

5.    Lots of Storage Space

Utility kilts are made to be hard wearing, last a long time and are tough for working all working conditions. They have deep pockets and folds to accommodate a range of items. You can add more pockets as required as well as hooks, chains, pouches so whether you’re working inside or out on the job most of your hand equipment can be conveniently carried in your utility kilt.

If you find you need to carry even more stuff so you don’t have to keep going and finding equipment or things like screws or nails, you can even add a utility belt to give you even more flexibility

These are just some of the lovable features of wearing modern men’s utility kilts. The only problem is once a man discovers the freedom and comfort of wearing a modern utility kilt they probably won’t want to go back to wearing regular pants again. So try utility kilts and feel the difference

A quick guide on getting a great fitting utilikilts

When wearing Utilikilts you get the advantage of full body movement, something you just don’t get in a pair of pants, but finding out what size you are can be a bit confusing which is what this article is all about. Kilts are not like pants, they are constructed differently and are worn differently, so you need to size yourself differently.

Do not just use your pants size as you could end up with a poorly fitting Utilikilt

The first thing to consider is whether you would like to wear your Utilikilts in the traditional way, hung from the belly just a fraction below the navel or if you prefer them hung from your hips like you would if wearing a pair of normal Jeans. This is important as with many men and women the measurement at the hips and waist can be very different.

Finding your kilt size is very simple, and only takes a few minutes, you can do it by yourself, although it’s better if you have a friend help.

Always use a cloth or dressmakers tape, not a steel builder’s tape because steel tapes are not flexible and can give the wrong reading.

The Traditional fit from the belly

This is the most comfortable and traditional way to wear a kilt and is considered by many to be the most comfortable and best looking way to wear one, but is really a matter of personal preference.

Take your cloth tape and measure around our belly in the place you would like your kilt to sit. This is usually a little below the navel. It is important to get this right so check again and write it down.

If you do not have a cloth tape, a belt or a thick piece of string can be use. Mark the belt or string where it meets around your belly and measure the belt using a straight ruler.

Comfort Fit or Hip Fit

Many men prefer the idea of wearing their utility kilts from the hip, about the place they wear their Jeans as they feel this is more comfortable for them. That is fine, but we do recommend that if you try the deluxe kilts that you try them at the belly position to see the difference and enjoy the added comfort level his provides.

To select your size, select the most suitable size range from the guide below. If your measurement is between sizes then simply go to the next larger size.
