This is my fist kilt and I love it. Damn Near Kilt'em kilts are great, the cotton is super comfortable and there is enough wraparound that I don't think I will bee flashing the goods accidentally anytime soon.
EDIT: After a few wears and a wash, I have to say that I have to remove a star. The D-rings for the pockets are just not very good, they are too lightweight for the useage. I lost one completely and have had to fix another one twice. These should be heavier gauge and preferably welded rings if they are being used to support pockets.
Edit the second: Now that is is nearing the one month mark I have to say that I am really disappointed, the hardware on this kilt is just not very good. I have lost 2 d-rings and a grommet. The snaps tend to be a little weak as well. Since I am a leather worker as a hobby I have the tools and supplies to rework the issues but at this price I really should not have to. It is a shame really, as it is a nice looking kilt, a little more care in selecting hardware would have gone a long ways.
Fits a bit snug and yes, I did measure as recommended (not my first kilt). I don't know about the others, but the snaps on this purchase are weak and the apron is narrow (nothing like the picture) and my pleats are not equal in the front. This is probably why you see others talking velcro, extra snaps and such. On this kilt, the length is off a bit so it doesn't line up at the bottom and to keep the damn thing shut, you will need to improvise or get a pin. Material has a great feel, heavy and comfortable, the side bags are great and the loops for the belt seem sturdy. After a wash, I let it air dry rather than to take a chance the material wasn't pre-washed for shrinkage, while it was damp, I ironed the pleats back into shape. No matter how you try to sit, this kilt will wrinkle badly. I hope the makers will add a couple of snaps to keep the apron hanging better than it does. One important thing, be sure to measure your waist, hips and ass, that booty in the pic is slim, not accounting for those of us who have great gluts. I will order again, this was my first kilt from DNKE. If my next kilt is as wrong as this, I will be sending it back.

I wore it all day yesterday at the Ren Fair... All day... super comfy, it has three different measurements. Super light, looks awesome (I ironed it when I received to remove the marks from the packaging), love the pockets! Definitely, something I will wear to bear parties, dancing, bars, everywhere! After seen the different prizes online and walking the whole Ren Fair with friends who wanted to buy a kilt I can say a couple extra things: 1- This kilts' quality is MUCH better than what is on the market. 2- Also much cheaper (ranges from 70 to 350) against really cheap looking and poorly crafted ones. 3- I say probably 4 or 5 guys wearing DNKE kilts and for sure they look much better than other s**** (It's easier, of course, to see it on others than on yourself). Just look at the pic, my friend is wearing a very similar kilt he got a few years ago and paid 280 for it!!!!! You can't go wrong with this one.... Make your measurements as instructed. with the 3 options you will certainly get some room to grow or to release during a day of turkey legs and TONS of alcohol on top of the regular blotting of the day.
Other update: After several uses, washing in the machine in normal and heat dry in normal as well: still as new!
This is a very nice kilt! The fabric is soft, but feels durable. Kilts are the most comfortable item a MAN can wear and you will get a lot of compliments on it! It is a very handsome garment with plenty of loops to hang keys and other items from. The pockets are large and detachable which comes in handy if you want to lighten the load! I love this kilt and my next will be the Smithy availabile at DNKE I plan to buy a couple of denim utility kilts I can use for work. Bottom line? If you really want to go pantless, once you try a kilt, you will never go back! I love these and would definitely recommend it to everyone else! Now the fitting and sizing part........ I measured my waist as instructed and came up with 40 inches at my belly button so I ordered a 40 inch kilt and what I got was big enough for two people! So, I tried the SM/MD 34-36 waist since I wear a 34-36 Levis 501 jeans. That one was too small, so I returned it and ordered the Medium, 36-38 and Bravo! Perfect fit! Lesson here? Kilts do not fit like pants, they are FAR more comfortabile, but remember, kilts do not hang from a one inch band off your hips and that is kind of the whole point!!! They fit from you belly button area, maybe a bit lower if you like, and follow your waist all the way down past you hips, so you are holding you Kilt up with about 6 inches of you body! This gives you an incredible amount of breathing room, freedom of movement and comfort! The Damn Near Kilt Em Highlander is a very handsome attractive piece you can wear to church, formal events and every day use! I love it!
My first kilt was a highlander from DNKE and I just bought a second highlander kilt because it's a great lightweight kilt that's perfect for hiking. It fits well and the buttons keep the kilt secure. The freedom of movement and coolness in heat are two of my favorite features of this (and most all) kilts. The pleats wash well; just remember to pull them straight and set the folds when you're hanging it to dry. The detachable pockets are great because you can wear none, or just one, or both. They're also huge pockets; I fit a six pack in two of them and was quite appreciated when I got back to camp.
I purchased this looking for a kilt to work in around my shop. It fits well, and is comfortable; however, I'm concerned that it's not going to last long. The fabric seems more for casual wear than utility use, and the hardware also seems very light duty. If you're looking for something to lounge around in, this will likely work well for you. Think casual dress pant material. Made in Pakistan.
