American Legacy Tartan

Tartan kilts seem to be one of the hardest type of kilts to decide on.  Being a history major in college, I have always been very interested in the history of our country.  Military history especially fascinates me.  Anytime I could I would sign up for the military history courses at college.  One thing they did was give me an appreciation for what men and women have done to give and protect the freedoms we have.  Their legacy is something that I don't think we should forget.  

This brings me to the reason for the American Legacy Tartan.  I have seen several different designs of the colors of the flag of the USA included in kilts.  Most of them are not readily available to buy.  The ones that are usually don't balance the colors red, white, and blue very well.  Either they have too much black or the blue is the only thing you can see.  I have always wanted to create an American tartan that balances the colors and looks good.  I also wanted it to be a reminder of the legacy that has been left by the men and women that have sacrificed so much for us.  I hope you enjoy this tartan kilt as much as I do.





 UT WILD Dark Khaki

The dark khaki is the newest color to be added to the WILD outdoor kilt. Almost exactly the same
as the black one, except has antiqued brass hardware on the kilt.

The long wait has finally came to an end!  The new UT WILD outdoor / wilderness kilts are finally here.  I have been trying to have this wilderness kilts made for about 6 months now.  After lots of prototypes, we finally have the finished WILD kilt.  I really think WILD is an appropriate term for this kilt.  Here are some pics with a detailed description of what it is offering.





    Two large, removable side cargo pockets with belt loops. 


    Both side cargo pockets will come off.  With belt loops on the back of each pocket, it is easy to run your belt right through them and have them hang from your belt.  Both pockets attach with two heavy duty snaps and Velcro to ensure they NEVER come off unless you want them too!

    Back and Side cargo pockets have elastic openings

    You will never have trouble fitting anything in these pockets.  The sides of these pockets are a tough elastic type material.  They will stretch to fit just about anything you might need to put in them


               NEW Black Antique Hardware 

All the hardware on this kilt is a black antique finish.  The changes from chrome hardware on the UT DELUXE.  It matches perfectly with many of the kilt belt buckles we currently offer.
 
  Velcro Closure
 
Need to get the kilt on and off in a hurry?  No worries.  We have dropped the snaps in favor of almost 12 inches of Velcro on the front waist band.  Not only is it easy to remove and put on, but can be adjust a little either way to get that PERFECT fit.


 
                                                    D Rings and Front Clips

Three D rings on the back and two clips on the front make attaching accessories a breeze. It not only allows easy access, but will allow you to carry anything that won't fit in the pockets.

                                  Two large back pockets
  These are not removable, but are big enough to hold just about anything you can put in them. 
 



 

Two Jeans-like pockets on either side

Still need more room?  Look no further than your hips, right above your cargo pockets.  They are TWO, one on each side, deep pockets that will hold just about anything.  This allow for easy access to things like wallet, keys, cellphone, etc. that you need to get to quickly.  
 
This idea actually came about accidentally.   I had never thought about using these types of pockets on a utility kilt.  When I got one of my first prototypes, my tailors added them in without telling me.  Loved it ever since!
 
 
Heavy duty Cotton material
 
The UT WILD is made from a heavy duty, 100 percent cotton material.  YOU will wear out before this kilt does!
