For at least 10 years, I’ve wondered why men don’t wear skirts, because I’ve always imagined that they are fantastically comfortable. It only recently occurred to me that, as a human with money, I can give that money to people who will deliver skirts to my front door, and I can wear them around the house for increased comfort without embarrassment because I live alone. I can officially confirm that they are wonderfully comfortable, at least in my opinion. However this does run contrary to the opinion of, well, pretty much every woman I’ve talked to.
The Utilikilt seems to be a ‘masculinized’ equivalent, without the specific and possibly inappropriate social signaling of a true plaid kilt. I have never worn one and can’t vouch for comfort, but it’s a way to get the general skirt form in public settings without being visibly gender-deviant. At worst it will read as a bit geeky, I think.
(Of course, the gender fuckery may be part of the fun here, in which case a kilt is obviously not going to meet your needs.)
At worst [Utilikilts] will read as a bit geeky, I think.
More than a bit; they’re a very strong geeky signal. But they’re expensive, not unflattering on many builds, read as masculine, and don’t suggest that you’re trying to look like an action hero nor that you overimprinted on hipster fashion from five years ago, which makes them better than some of your options.
I still wouldn’t wear one outside of Burning Man or a few other geek-heavy events, though.

The utilikilt doesn’t look comfortable. If it is comfortable it might be perfect.
