UTILIKILTS: It's a cargo skirt -- for guys.

SEATTLE (AP) - Picture a cargo skirt -- for guys. That's the idea behind the Utilikilt. Steven Villegas created the first Utilikilt for himself while restoring a motorcycle. He says pants were too uncomfortable to wear. So, he fashioned a kilt out of some old army pants. Now, he's making cargo kilts for guys who are willing to be different and show off their legs. The Seattle entrepreneur says he's selling about 12-thousand Utilikilts a year at prices up to 230 dollars each. There's nothing frilly about the Utilikilts. They have tool pockets and a loop for a hammer. Of course what you wear under a kilt is no one's business. But kilt fans say the traditional way is to leave nothing between you and the breeze.
