Thanks MacSimoin, some good questions...but don't know that my answers are there. Kilts are too varied and have so many uses it just doesn't feel right to pick one over the other. Like I have four AmeriKilts, but until lately only wore them for formal gigs like funerals...now I've found a way to wear them to work every day...yet still sometimes wear them to knock around. Utilikilts are great for hiking, but the mocker also makes a great office kilt. My Pittsburgh Kilt tri-color Arizona Flag kilt is a real special occasion kilt for gatherings and parades. My two other PKs are great for hiking or on the Colorado River. Same with my Freedom Kilt desert camo and CADPAT. There's no way to compare my RKilt saffron leather to my Kathy's Kilts Macdonald Lord of the Isles Hunting hand sewn tartan. They're both elegant. I've even found a use for my two SportKilts...hot weather hiking or long hours of sitting at conferences and trainings. There are still a bunch of kiltmakers I wanna try.

1. No way I'm gonna pick one kiltmaker...not possible. Maybe the one's I've chosen to buy from so far over the others still on my wish list.

2. No way. Love both tartan and plain...and plain looks good with a tartan shirt like Ham teaches us.

3. Only district tartan sort of is the X Marks on order. Kathy Lare of Kathy's Kilts is gonna sew it up for me. She's soon shipping my other clan tartan hand sewn tank, a Macdonald of Kingsburgh tartan which is where my ancestors came from - the Trotternish Peninsula of Skye.

4. Both. Living in the high desert of the Arizona Canyonlands I wear the cloth more.

5. I wear kilts daily now. Love it.

6. Been wearing kilts to work off and on for about eight months. A month ago started wearing kilts daily.

7. 25 kilts now with the X Marks hand sewn traditional awaiting tartan.

8. A late bloomer. Started at age 59.

9. My nephew in his 30s has developed an interest and is figuring out his first kilt. He seems committed.

10. Not married any more. If I do remarry would certainly do it kilted.
