    Smile Just one kilt, that's all I need… Well, maybe not…

    It seemed simple enough: I buy one good, made-to-measure kilt in the tartan I feel most connected to, some accessories, and I'm set for life.
    Then I discover the joys of wearing a kilt, and I want to wear it more than every once in a blue moon. But I don't want to take too many risks with it and wear it to places where it might get dirty very quickly…

    So, this morning my second kilt arrived. It's from the complete opposite of the spectrum: acrylic wool, shallow pleats, a bit wrinkly (no idea if I can iron it out), some threads sticking out, missing that nice swing, but not even 1/10 of the price I paid for my good kilt, and machine washable.



    I'm sure there will be occasions where I'm better of wearing this one…
    As far as I could find, the (fashion) tartan is called Grey Spirit, but for some reason the vendor didn't sell it as such.

    And somehow I think it will not end here…
    By the time Saint Patrick's Day arrives, I will probably have a saffron or Irish National kilt as well, and who knows what will be next?
