Reviewing and demonstrating my current three kilts. Not sponsored in any way, shape, or form.
## UT Kilts -- Ultimate in Green
The first is the Ultimate in green from UT Kilts. It has plenty of storage, an elastic waist, and a very comfortable polycotton fabric.
I did unfortunately get it one size too large (34) after returning one that was a size too small (30). Brice at UT Kilts was very kind about the whole process and generally just helpful along the way.

## UT Kilts -- Custom (Athlete in Green Ripstop)
The second is a custom order, which is their Athlete style in green ripstop. It is also quite comfortable but not quite as soft as the Ultimate's polycotton.
It has slash pockets otherwise there is no storage. It is fastened with Velcro rather than snaps which makes the waist much more rigid. I still really like it and tend to wear it when it's hot outside and when I go for runs.

## Damn Near Kilt 'Em -- *Unknown* in Tan
The third is something I bought used. It is a Damn Near Kilt 'Em (DNKE) in tan. I have no idea what style or model it is and it doesn't list it on the garment.
The two cargo pockets on the side are huge, even better than the Ultimate's. I have not used the back pocket. The side buckles are really what makes this shine, as well as the apron snaps, because it makes it fit so snug and is much more wind resistant.
The heavy, durable, 100% cotton canvas material is comfortable enough, but can be abrasive against sensitive parts when doing physical activity such as hiking.

## UT Kilts -- Utility Belt
The utility belt that Brice sells at UT Kilts is also really super amazing. I genuinely have been wearing it for all sorts of reasons, even other than kilts. It's super simple and seems like it's going to last a very long time.
- Options:
- Utility Belt and Buckle
- Choose your belt and buckle: Both Belt and Buckle
- Kilt Waist Size: 30-33
- Belt Color: Coal Black
- Buckle Style: Gunmetal

## Conclusion
Overall, the DNKE is my favorite fit, but UT's Ultimate is still probably my favorite overall, even if it is a size too large.
I would recommend any of these kilts to others!
