That, Dana, is a decision I have still to make! Two kiltmakers, one in Scotland and the other in the USA, have expressed their interests in acquiring the entire Kollection when the time comes - and that is important to me: that my Kollection is to be kept as one unit, and not split up in any way.
The British Museum would not, I think, be the best home for it. I'd rather it went to the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, which has a huge collection of men's and women's fashion/clothing through the ages.
But, hey! There's plenty of time yet (as far as I know). The Kollection is still growing and, if I have my way, it will continue to do so. What, I think, makes my Kilt Kollection slightly different to most others is that it consists only of kilts I have bought, or have been offered, to wear myself on a day to day basis. I have no interest in acquiring aged or historic kilts, perhaps at Auctions or sales. Alright, so some of my kilts are a little 'extreme' and maybe I would not actually wear one or two of them to go shopping but, together, the Kollection represents a large part of the diverse variety of 20th and 21st century kiltmaking.
Which reminds me, there are still one or two kiltmakers whose 'works of art' are not yet featured in the Kollection! I must get my order book out again........... 8)
