I take transit to work and it's getting hot in my city, I would like to wear shorts but I'm not allowed to wear them to work because of the dress code, however it allows skirts and is silent on kilts (and I think my managers will allow my bit of malicious compliance on this). Any recommendations on affordable utilikilt style brands? Do you think it would be weird to see a retail employee in a kilt in a major city and that I shouldn't do it?

EDIT: I just ordered a damn near kilt em kilt off of Poshmark. The price was right and the brand doesn't seem terrible quality.

I have worn a Utilikilt survivalist daily for over ten years up in Maine, socially and at work, year round, rain, shine or sleet. I know they are expensive, especially for a bit of malicious compliance, but frankly they are worth it and a game changer. The survivalist In particular, so many pockets, so much room for everything. All the weight hangs off your hips so you barely feel it.

As for owning it, you just have to well, own it. I mean it's everyone else that is wrong right? But yeah, just the fact that you are considering it says you have enough confidence to pull it off.

I have tried other brands, none of them fit like the Utilikilt, but that was ordering online and trying to match sizes and such. Quality wise I had no issues with them but they didn't have all the storage and features of the Utilikilt so ultimately I sent them back. From a quick Google though, damn there are all sorts of them out there now, I don't recognize the brands but the pricing looks great.

Good luck if you do it!
