Hey,

I am a dude, prefer not to be a pedantic asshole, but might miss the mark. On Utilikilts. or for that matter kilts in general: They are dude wear. That said, here in the emerald city, there are some seriously hot persons of all five genders who wear them, and pull them off with panache. There are also persons who wear them for style, and do not pull them off, but definitely should. Preferably in private. I am one of the latter. But the kilt is an eminently practical garment, whether worn by male, female, or other, and I personally believe that the main reason it is called a kilt, as opposed to a skirt, is so that guys who wear them have to spend less time defending their choice of clothing. The modesty snap allows things like riding your motorcycle without being arrested. Or climbing ladders without the the neighborhood watch, or nosy neighbor, adding you to the sex offender of the week website. It is not meant for full time, or even long term, use. Try it before you knock it.

Twisty… this is the first time I’ve run across your prolix opinions, and I find them to be hilariously expressed whether I agree or not. Some I do, some not. Either wy…thanks for the memories.

I’d say, if intended as a slap at Utilikilts®, this post rather backfires.

IMO, the “Survival” model is far over-designed. Simply too much material there. For practical comfort the “Original” or “Mocker” models are much to be preferred.

So a “skirt” kilt may not be the most useful article of clothing invented and the idea of a man wearing a skirt may seem a little homosexual but who wrote the rules anyways! I do not endorse the macho ism advertised by utilikilt but i do not find the article in the least bit “gay”. There is nothing wrong with a kilt besides the innate factor that it will limit many activities ie: riding a motorcycle, climbing above others, acrobats that would otherwise expose yourself… so there is some kinks in the design but you cannot argue that they are not really comfortable despite some of the practicality issues associated.

“I am not an habitué of Burning Man, so it came to pass that 48 long years elapsed before I laid eyes on my first Utilikilt. This event transpired 3 weeks ago. The minute I saw it — a heavy-duty twill with dudely brass snaps arranged so as to suggest a codpiece or possibly a WWF Heavyweight Champion belt, adorning a sensitive guy in a ponytail at the South Congress post office — I knew that I must possess one. I wanted to wear a skirt while simultaneously crossdressing. I will have my little sartorial joke.”

It’s been too long Twisty, but you still have it.

I am so glad you’re back, Twisty!

Also, I love men in skirts. It’s sexy. And cheerful.

I seriously fucking love Utilikilts. I used to see them all the time in Seattle and have seen them here in CA too. I really really want to get my husband one! They were commented on in Bitch’s last issue too…

I propose that the wine-carrying experiment would have been more successful if you tried TWO bottles of wine. One on each side would solve the unacceptable listing. Besides, twice the wine! How could that NOT be better?

Twisty darling: You don’t know how happy I am to be, as I so often am, wrong.

Be thankful you do not live in the hometown of Utilikilts. I do, and I’m surprised I haven’t gone blind yet.
