Utilikilt on 'Design for the Real World'

"Design for the Real World" looks at the modern-day, pragmatic relative of the kilt: the Utilikilt.

Architect and homebuilding guru Duo Dickinson talks about a tool belt he says makes all the difference. Based on the comfort of that ancient garment, the kilt, this hard-working variation is built with utility in mind.

"Design for the Real World" is an inside look at the hidden genius of everyday things -- from lipstick to sheetrock, tea bags to ballparks. A regular feature of "Studio 360" with Kurt Andersen, public radio's weekly show about what's happening in the culture. Produced by Public Radio International and WNYC.
