The Original had, like today, its successor, The Spartan aprons like a traditional kilt, only they were not as wide. To compensate, they were, and still are, secured by buttons, rather than straps and buckles on a traditional kilt.

Judged by the many pictures found on the internet, the black version might be the most popular Utilikilt. It can be worn at the jeans-waist level or higher, like you would normally wear a traditional kilt.

The length of a utility kilt?
No rules, really. It can be traditional kilt length, but it might also be a little bit longer; you often see Utilikilts covering the wearer's knees, or a little bit shorter. It is all up to you.
Utilikilts are available in three lengths: 21.5", 23" and 24.5". This kilt is 21.5" long and will, when worn low, almost reach down to the top of my knees. But I'll often wear it (and my other Utilikilts) higher. I like the look of a short kilt.
