A while back I thought about tracking down a tailor to make me some camping pants in multicam. I'd been frustrated by every manufacturer selling multicam pants in only the BDU sizes that garauntee a long legged fella like me to be limited to highwaters or cut-off shorts. I went so far as to find the cloth sold by the yard in various weights http://www.duroindustries.com/index.php?page=Multicam_Products but then back burnered the idea of multicam pants for long legged folk like me (if for nobody else but spindle legged me).
I ran into a pair of interesting ladies wearing kilts, who complimented me on mine and of course I noticed . . . MARPAT or knockoff MARPAT on one of them but the Kilt looked good! (kinda like my UtliKilt, but with more webbing and some other cosmetic differences) I hit them up on the idea of a Multicam Kilt. They quoted me an off the top of their head price of $75 plus cost of material. . . . of course when you buy by the yard, the more yards ya buy the cheaper it is by the yard. I have never done a group buy or anything like that, but I thought I'd put it out there and see if any one else was interested. At the very least, I am thinking I will buy the cloth and ask them to make me two in multicam and one in multicam for my father in his size (shorter leg, wider waist) if I like their work, I may ask them to cut apart a pair of Eotach Discreet's and replicate them (with some changes I'd like) in multicam. Yes, I did Email Eotach about Multicam . . . since they won't . . . ;) I don't have my hand out in any of this, I want a product that isn't on the market and the way the chips are falling I may be able to get what I want. If anybody wants to get on board with the kilts or if after the kilts I find the workmanship good enough to go for pants . . . I wasn't looking to be the only guy out there in a multicam Kilt. Surely I am not the only guy with an inseam greater than 35.5" who'd like some multicam pants either!
