Sir Didymous, you ask great questions that make us think. It took some time and a full pot of coffee for me to sort this question out for me.
I really can not decide where hobby begins and ends for me at 5 years in a kilt, 85 kilts and $18573+ into it. It started for me not being comfortable in pants and shorts since I had abdominal surgery and the internal stitches caused irritation at the jean/pants waist lines. I tried a kilt with a wide belt and they solved the irritation issue and also introduced me to the comfort of breathing, non restriction below the waist. Early in the "collection " it was finding the brands and styles that fit my lifestyle and buying or building the equipment to maintain the kilts with ease. I was pretty much in t-shirts and ball caps with my kilts through this phase with no fashion sense. Then it became a fashion thing to "do it right" for nicer occasions and my plaids and tartans and accessories collection expanded. Now I think my activities here are learning / entertainment and the watching / buying / collecting may be in the hobby phase.
My experience of totally abandoning bifurcation seems very rare as I am the only one I know locally that is kilted full time.
slàinte mhath, Chuck

Pants is only a present tense verb here. I once panted, but it's all cool now.

Is piping and kiltwearing a hobby? As far as my taxes go, my instruments and the clothes I wear while making money playing them are business expenses and I write them off.
I'm careful not to write off Highland Dress items that I don't actually wear while doing paying gigs (and have photos to prove it).
The stuff I don't wear while doing gigs is the hobby side.

What I will say when asked about it:
Collecting of kilts and accessories is a hobby, wearing them part of my life style.
Greg
Kilted for comfort, difference, look, variety and versatility

If I could I would wear the kilt every day.
As Gregg said: it's part of a life style and no hobby.
