New Utilikilts
Sometime last year, while still living in Southern California, my first UK started coming apart. One of the surged seams started to unravel. I contacted UK and described the problem, and they told me to take it to a reputable tailor, have it repaired, and they'd reimburse me.
Long story short, we moved, and I never did get the UK fixed. Fast forward almost a year, and I now work within 5 miles of the UK store in Seattle. So this morning I grabbed the kilt in question and during lunch I ran over to the UK store to drop it off for repair.
While there I saw their latest product - a UK made of the same sort of silky flowy material boxers shorts (not boxer shorts, but the shorts a boxer actually wears) - complete with racing stripes up the side. They have an elastic waist band, and the front panel snaps are vestigial, but it definitely looks like a UK.
No pictures on their website yet, so if you want to see (or buy) one, you'll have to find your way to their store.

Uh, I'll wait for the pictures, but any kind of "silky flowy" kilt material sounds like it's going to set back the "What I'm wearing isn't a dress, you damned homophobic Philistine!" argument a couple of leagues...
