My Kids say I'm going Kilt crazy !!! What do you think

[Norbo]

well as those of you who have read my posts will know im Brand new to kilts and know absolutely nothing about them what so ever. I got my first kilt not quight 6 weeks back now.

I had been on the look out for an Ex army Blackwatch for about 6 months with no luck in getting 1 my size. So as I wanted it for a bike show im Doing in Edinburgh on the 9th an 10th and want every one to be kilted for the show and could see me ending up with out 1 I just got what ever would fit me .I got a flower of Scotland a kilt almost 5" to big and made it smaller as I could se time running out. Ive look on the net 2 or 3 times a day scanning all kind of places on the look out for my blackwatch. well ive ended up with a few from a car boot a few from a lady selling her grandfathers kilts and a few I got from the MOD and a couple from E bay I liked the look of like the Hunting pride of Scotland.

Some I cant keep as they are to small but it was a get them all or don't them at all like the 5 I hade last Friday only 1 will fit me the rest are to small so I will have to pass them on, like the jacket I had to get with my first kilt that I will never have on .

any way I've only been using them for 6 weeks now and this is my collection of kilts My kids say ive gone Kilt crazy what do you think . LOL

Your kids are very wise.

If you have anything in a 38-40 your looking to get rid of keep me in mind but i love your collection .

I think its awesome.
Great collection. Funny thing, after seeing the blackwatch kilt photos you posted, I started looking for a regiment/ex army one. Unfortunately the one you have for sale is too small for me.
Thanks for sharing the photo.

It's a rhetorical question, isn't it?

You've finally come into your genius. Send your kids out selling cookies to support you in your kilt-quest. It's the least they could do.

I thought I was crazy with 5 tartan scarves!

Well of course the bottom 3 are all 1950's Vintage kilts and way to small. I turned the far right MacLauchlan ancient up 5" so it would fit my son . The far left Macgregor I put Velcro on for his sister. the bottomm middle Maclean I just sold.

The top 5 I just got and only the top right 1 will fit me properly the green on I will keep to lend out at a bike show the others I will sell as they are to small .


So reoly I only have the middle ones and the middle left Blackwatch is all so to small so im having to sell that as well. But if you don't take a punt on these things you never know.

So in the end I only have the 5 in the middle that fit me so I don't really have that many to use, but they do look nice all laid out like this so I thought id take the pic before I post the maclean one of and get the others sold .

My kids still think im crazy .

I just corrected the titles on a couple of your threads - this is because I can and you can't - one of the mod powers.

It is nothing personal - I am slightly dyslexic and it bothers me - probably more than most people. I wouldn't have mentioned it if it was just the one - just didn't want you to think I was picking on you.

Been thinking of getting a Holyrood as my next kilt; a mighty fine tartan, in my opinion.
