Or is the Utilikilt not tough enough?

Certainly coverage, potentially flammability. The additional leather
apron may negate some of those issues.

For myself, I do pretty much all TIG and don't care for third degree
sunburn, so I am always fully covered when welding.

They also make leather Utilikilts. VERY pricey, but REALLY nice.

The regular ones are made out of heavy cotton twill. Certainly as rugged
as a good denim.

And for "only" twenty five times the price of a good pair of jeans. (I
buy $10 pairs of Rustler jeans at BiMart and couldn't be happier.)

C'mon. There's the same amount of material in a Utilikilt as a pair of
jeans, yet they're ungodly expensive. That rankles me. Oh, I forgot.
They spend six more minutes to install half a dozen rivets and press
the pleats. I sure don't see the draw those things have to guys,
especially given the abuse they get from other guys when wearing them.

Enjoy your kilties, boys!

I wont be wearing a kilt..if they cost $225. Not a ****ing chance.

Their tuxedo model costs $560. thud Methinks their sales plan is
based on finding someone who makes high-quality wool in the proper
plaid for certain hard-to-find clan offshoots, getting his highest
price, then adding eBay's best price ever to that figure. I don't see
them selling too many of those things at those prices, but they might
make their advertising on it.

But you can always make your own if you truly feel the need to wear a
skirtlike garment, sir.
