Pants
The Greeks and Romans thought trousers were only
for barbarians. Well, who's laughing now,
Aristotle? It turns out even togas were better than
what we were wearing pre-1800: breeches, the
creepy, end-at-the-knee short pants that make you
look like a plate of frog's legs. It took the
French Revolution to bring the world to its senses.
The guillotine experts who ran the country
associated knee breeches with the aristocrats whose
heads they were shortening; but ankle-length
"pantaloons" were the uniform of the working man.
From there, they spread to Britain and then the
world, making it a more calf-friendly place for
everyone.

"Steven Villegas has his work cut out for him.
He's selling freedom from trouser tyranny in a
culture that fears men in
dresses...Utilitikilts"
Utilitikilts are a multi-functional kilt
designed for working men. Extra pockets and a
modesty snap between legs. Two exterior rear
pockets. Two side mount saddle pockets, with "the
Grip" retractable side hammer loop and front key
loop. Patent Pending Wallet Grip rear pocket. Right
side scraper/pencil pocket, heavy duty rivets at
all major pocket stress points. 12 ounce Duc cloth.
Fully pleated from bottom to top. Available in
Neo-Traditional closure method only.
The Utilikilts Co. would like to thank the fates
for weaving us such an interesting tapestry of
media attentiveness. From the New York Times, to
PBS, to the London Gaurdian, we have been fortunate
to garner enough room on the page or the screen to
get our message as clearly across as they will
allow us. Sometimes that isn't very far. Other
times we have simply refused to put out unless we
know that we'll be represented fairly. One thing
that all potential editors, producers and writers
need to know, is that we refuse to comp Utilikilts
to people who will provide us with 'good product
placement. We will only be represented in the media
by our customers.
- Ben Brungraber, a senior engineer at Benson
Woodworking in Walpole, New Hampshire, and one
of the most recognized timber engineers in the
country, wears a Utilikilt on the job.
- Joe Germano, a Seattle marine biologist who
owns an environmental consulting firm, says his
best marketing idea was to designate a kilt as
his company's official field uniform
- There's a Workman's Kilt designed with tool
pockets and loops for construction men and a
Painter's Kilt - an alternative to those painter
pants - for amateur and professional painters.
Both kilts come with "modesty snaps" between the
legs.
At the Utilikilts Company, something is always
taking us by surprise, and consequently, we are
constantly cooking up schemes to surprise you with.
This is where it all comes together. We hope that
you check this page every time you visit this site
as it is always changing. Here you can learn about
upcoming events on our Calendar, recent happenings
in the Utilikilts Empire, or browse our
