    Hello

    My names Anthony, I'm 43 living in Los Angeles.

    I've wanted a kilt for at least a decade.

    I finally took the leap and placed an order for a Mocker on Sep. 1st. Then bought a Neo-Traditional while at the Folsom Street fair end of Sept., and received the Pittsburgh kilt I ordered on the 1st of Oct. this week (have yet to receive the Mocker).

    I plane to stop this afternoon and purchase black 12 oz. cotton twill and try my hand at making a couple of kilts myself.

    Is buying three kilts in a month, obsessive/compulsive?

    Be well,

    Anthony

    obsessive? compulsive?

    I'd buy a new kilt every day if I could afford to.

    Anthony,

    WELCOME to Xmark It is indeed an honor to have you here!

    You are on your way to kilting in a big way, with three kilts in a month, you are well suited (I mean kilted) to be an asset to the entire movement of kilting

    Again welcome

    Welcome, Anthony!

    If you're asking about obsession, you've picked a very fair and unbiased representative population of raving obsessives to answer your question

    I'll rationalize it as follows: Don't think of it as a month, think of it as 10 years *** month. You're really an exceptionally slow and deliberate kilt connoisseur!

    I don't think it is. Once a year I would go to the department store and get myself 2-3 pair of work pants .

    Welcome to the forum, Anthony. I think bcmtnbka has a good point. A kilt is clothing, so it's no more unusual to buy 3 or 4 kilts, when most people buy 3 or 4 trousers. The only difference I see is price, although I guess some trousers can be quite pricey too.

    with trousers the changing in dress goes first of all from shirts and what worn on torso. poeple may have a few trousers but many shirts.

    with the kilt its the oppposite. when i could i also would buy so many kilts... so with kilts we have a lot of different colours and types but compared i only need a few standard coloured shirts to fit with.

    i think the kilt is more dominant than trousers, so it turns the relation with shirts.
