BUY, BUY, BUY!!

You can never have too many kilts...

Serious...bet if you saved your loose change everyday that after a few months or a year you'd have enough to buy another quality kilt.

I have a variety of Macdonald tartans and Gordon tartans...I like wearing tartans that are for my clans - but also enjoy a strut in a loud MacLeod now, or something with variety to wear to work.

Was up to 55 kilts, but had outgrown some and finally decided to pass them on to guys that could fit them. Have sold five recently so that leaves me at 50. Have three more up on the for sale forum I think.

Headed over to Albuquerque this coming weekend for the Gathering of Nations and hope to get to visit with Kathy Lare, my hand sewn traditional kiltmaker. Don't have a Fletcher tartan kilt yet and my great grandfather Billy Fletcher was quite a guy. Made two trips over the Bozeman Trail to Virginia City, Montana in 1864 and 1866. he used to ranch up that way. Would round up wild horses and "break" them then sell them to the British Cavalry during the Boar War.

So, the more you know about your family history the more tartans you can put on your wish list.

Course, Utilikilts have a strong following down there in Flag too. You can save a few bucks by roaming their scratch and dent list.
