Kilt Math #60 Ordered

[Riverkilt]

Because some of you have asked...and I'm confused...

Kathy Lare says my Macdonald Lord of the Isles Hunting Weathered (16 ounce Lochcarron Strome...slobber, drool) is being sewn up now.

I have three USA Kilts semi-trads on order from Rocky. MacLean Hunting, Dress Gordon, and Gunn Modern.

That makes 60 Kilts that I've purchased since I got the addiction bad a few years ago.

But I've also gotten olde and fat and outgrown a bunch of kilts. So since I started selling the kilts I'm too fat to wear anymore I've sold 25 of them. They all seem to have new life with a smaller owner now.

So, I currently have 31 kilts with four on order.

Six of those 31 are still for sale. If, by chance, they sell, then I'll have 25 kilts left with four on order.

If you're still with me you're better at math than I am.

If you're married, don't let your wife read this post, it might scare her.

The addiction is real....very real....

I still lust after an RKilts eggplant leather and the Antarctic tartan.

I made the mistake of reading your post out loud to the Mrs before giving it a once-over first. Yep, it scared her, particularly as I'm waiting for what is only my second kilt to arrive from Jerry any time now (second in 6 weeks though!) and have promised that I - cough - probably won't want any more!

Math checks out, Ron.

Here is a number chart.
60-4 = 56
56-25 = 31
31-6 = 25
25+4 = 29

So you will have a total of 29 kilts in the end. That's a prime number!

Twenty nine kilts not bad but I don't think Hamish has anything to worry about yet.

[Riverkilt]

Cool! 29 eh?

Tell you what. I think I've spent enough on kilt accessories to equal the gross national product of a small third world country.

Here's where the money went for the kilts.

21 USA Kilts
15 Utilikilts
9 Kathy's Kilts
4 AmeriKilts
3 SportKilts
3 Freedom Kilts
3 Pittsburgh Kilts
1 RKilt
1 Celtic Croft

Nine different kiltmakers...thats a good spread.

[Mr. MacDougall]

Hmm. I find myself looking at my own numbers:

1 Buzz Kidder
1 Sport Kilt
4 Stillwaters
1 AmeriKilt
1 Matt Newsome
1 USA Kilts

Which makes me no threat to the current record holders, but is a surprising number of kilts....

[Riverkilt]

Ham's collection is a whole different deal. His is a museum quality collection that remains functional and fun.

Never have been chasing his numbers...just been addicted to the FREEDOM!

And, apparently I've been doing some "catch and release" kilting.

Ron - I think I'm close to you, but I am afraid to count up.......

[cessna152towser]

It really is amazing how they mount up. When I read this I went away and counted mine and found I currently have 33. Plus one kilt currently on order. However only 12 of these are traditional 8-yard Scottish kilts, with a variety of other stuff from a 5-yard wool kilt, through denim Union kilts to cheap e-bay acrylic knock offs.

[Racer96]

Ron,
You inspired me to have a look at my closet as well. ack. 29 kilts.

... and 2 on order.

..... and easily 7 on the wishlist.

....... and I only purchased my first one at the end of last July.

Oh no.
