kilt number 14
went on a spending spree yesterday.
first I got a new "taz" sporran from R-kilts
I ordered it this summer at one of the games, Fergus I think.
anyway, Rob was kind enough to drop it off for me.
then I went to the local British shop, and got a MacDonald tartan casual kilt (red and black)
as some of you pointed out, 13 kilts is an unlucky number, so I had to get another

Congratulations, Phil
Only owning two kilts, I'm jealous. But I have made up my wee mind that the next kilt I shall own will be a box-pleated one, darn it, and, well, until I can either learn to sew it, or save up enough to afford it, I'll stick with the two that I have.

Very nice, but 13 isnt all that bad, of course more is better.

Well done, Phil (and good to see you are still around here!). I too remember rushing to get No.14 hanging in my wardrobe, or strapped around my waist, because stopping at 13 seemed like tempting Fate!!
What a great excuse though! Currently I have 73 kilts. Now, if that number is not unlucky I don't know what is ......... that HAS to be why I sent my order for No.74 to Barb Tewksbury today!

both 73 and 74 are very unlucky numbers, although 75 is a nice even number, like you ever needed any excuse to buy another kilt.
BTW how are you these days?

Wait!!!! Are you going to tell us what tartan #74 will be or will you leave us hanging in suspense?? Vicarious jonesing is just as bad as the real thing for the truly addicted!

Isle of Skye, Bill. Lochcarron's Braeriach (Medium) weight, pleated to the stripe -as in Barb's photos of the kilt she tailored for her son-in-law to be.
Whilst we are on the subject, this coming Saturday, I expect to be giving Howie (TFCK) my order for No.75: Craig Ancient, but I'm still undecided about the weight. Strome or Braeriach? It will probably be Strome.

One could always number it #12A if suffering from triskaidecaphobia!
