I bought the yardage of the Official Clan Claus Society's "Claus of the North Pole" tartan, Scottish Tartan Authority ITI number 7869 and have ordered the kilt.

It will be my third kilt, all purchased since March, 2009. I know that's no record. But it's quite a change for me, who 5 months ago had zero kilts.

I flew kilted to Denver and back three weeks ago in my family Wallace kilt. Photos requested and taken of "Saint Nick" in the Houston and Denver airports and on one plane.

Yes, kilts are addictive.
