It may say out-of stock, but they still have them in many sizes. I just got mine today and it's great! Knee-length, lightweight, only $59!

Very impressive, Justfred!

Side cargo pockets hold 2 30 round AR magazines or 3 pistol magazines
(What a selling point! My skirts can't do that!)

Front belt loop includes badge holder.
I can just imagine Dragnet's Joe Friday hanging his #714 badge from this kilt.

5.11 Sport Boxer Briefs available separately, but not required.
Well, a commando has to "go commando", doesn't he?

.......and in my size it'd be just long enough to hide the barrel of my Kalashnikov AK47.

And subsequent production runs are not likely to occur for another 6 years, unless they get a license from or contract with Utilikilts. They used the symmetrical pleating pattern that Steve Villegas patented back in 2001.

It turns out that it was an April Fool's joke that surprised the heck out of them. It got a big enough positive response that they actually decided to produce it.

5.11 is a company marketing apparel and accessories to police and security workers. Places to hold badges, flashlights, multi-tools, and things that go boom in the night are just part & parcel for their stuff.

Mine just arrived over here in Afghanistan yesterday... and I'm LOVIN it!!! I may just have to order a few more before they are all out comPLETEly . I gotta love the price too, the reason I've never owned a kilt before is I just can't spend $200 on one piece of clothing...

Kirb, you really have an AK47? I have a Barret .50 long range rifle. Used primarily as a Sniper Rifle by the US Special Services.

[Kirbstone]

Of course I don't! Mind you, that Barret .50 must be some serious piece of ordnance. When you detach the barrel is it more that 24" long ? If it is it'll be difficult to hide in your knee-length kilt!

I estimate I can fit 10+ loaded stripper clips for my SKS in each of the cargo pockets...

I have no idea what a stripper clip is nor does SKS mean anything to me. I suspect the Utilikilts way of measuring pocket capacity is far more universally understood. For example the pocket capacity of my Survival UK is 20 bottles of beer .

Have fun,

My Barret can be taken down to 6 parts, the barrel is 22" and an added8" that screws in. Mine is aluminum and steel. Made in 2006.

[... T]he pocket capacity of my Survival UK is 20 bottles of beer .

Is the volumetric capacity of the "bottle unit" specified? How about the shape? (Rectangular shapes nest for better efficiency than round ones.)

That said, twenty bottles' capacity is pretty good; I could survive on that for two of three days.

What about yeast? (A humble little beastie without which the world would be uninhabitable.)

I never hurt the yeast when I brew; I just feed them well and then treat the bi-products of their digestion with great reverence

Have fun,

I Envy You for Your Barret, One of these days...It'll be better than AT&T if Ya need to reach out and Touch Someone! Too pricy for me because I'd rather spend spare change on custom skirts these days! And My .06 is good for a thousand meters.(Not that I am anymore,Age does take its toll)

Thomas, You crack Me up!
Alvin Kalishnikov (A K) was a ledgend, The "Model 47" made history like the goshdarned Volkswagon for rapid production, Unassailable combat function, and Halfassed accuracy.
I had One (Origonal Russian,Not Chinese ) and I regret selling it.
I Had 2 SKS's that I picked up from a couple of Dead Iraqis,(sorry to upset My Liberal Friends) Fine AK weapons that I regret giving up,
I would still prefer Our friends Barret, Over anything I have had. So My 30.06 will have to do.
I Loved Your Tongue in cheek Humor (Knowing Your local Laws) (Unfortunate as I believe an armed Society is a polite Society) One of these days You might get a wild hair and come to Oahu, with Your better Half, It would be a blast!

Hi Scott,
We're getting away from the 511 tactical kilt here, but picking up two AK47s from dead Iraquis was serious stuff. George Senior's Gulf War1 I assume. It's probably a pity you didn't hang on to one of them.

A little footnote to the Clinton Era: Sex between two Bushes.

I got an earfull about Oahu from a rower friend who had just been boardsurfing there for two years when he stepped into a serious Irish coxless four in England in 1971 dead fit & hard as nails. We won some good gongs and presented ourselves at the Irish Olympic trials in 1972 on a lake in typically horrid conditions...rain, cold and a head wind. We won the event, but the 'Committee' didn't send us the penny-ha'penny ride to Munich because our time was nearly a whole second outside some standard time set by the drug-pumping East Germans. That distortion didn't get sorted until they introduced proper drug tests in the '80s.

To fulfill a dream and get a ride to Oahu for mesel' & demissus I filled in a lottery card at the New Year, but put the wrong numbers on it. Silly me! The lady who sold it to me was very sympathetic, said that lots of other people also put in the wrong numbers and perhaps I ought to try again!
