Mailman Seeks Utilikilt

My sister Meg pointed this out to me: a U.S. Postal Carrier petitioning his peers to change the uniform regs such that he can wear his beloved Utilikilt. In fact, he's wearing the exact style/fabric as mine!

Incidentally, the last time I wore my Kilt (last Thursday) a man came up to me and asked me a bunch of questions, he's been trying to find a place that sells them in Toronto. I told him about the one place I know that sells them, but suggested he would do well simply to order it over the internet straight from the company. I love my utilikilt--it's the most comfortable thing I've ever worn.

Me Kilt!

Check out my new "Utilikilt." It's basically a modern, casual version of a more traditional kilt. Some of it advantages over a traditional kilt include pockets, the fact that it rides on the belt line rather than the waist line, and it's machine washable. And just look at that manly belt! Of course it's comfortable as all hell. I'm not surprised, I've long since discovered how great Cassocks are.

From the Wikipedia article on the subject:

Utilikilt's commercial success is primarily from word of mouth, as the company does not pay for product placement or commercial endorsement and eschews professional models in favor of photos of actual customers. Despite this low-key approach, they grew from sales of 750 kilts their first year to over 11,000 three years later. The company received a big boost in recognition after Richard Hatch donned a Utilikilt on-screen in Survivor: All-Stars. (source)

I haven't tried mine with a clerical shirt, yet, but I'm sure it will look as good as it will feel. Ah, freedom, my brothers!
