This may turn out to be a long thread...

1. For overall quality and cost, who is your preferred kiltmaker? (List only one, i.e. a favorite) Hmm...tough call. Don't think I could possibly pick just one

2. Which is your personal preference, a tartan or solid color kilt? Mainly tartan, but I own several solids.

3. If you wear clan, family or district tartans, which tartan do you wear most often? I wear the military sett Gordon most often, but Scottish National is another favorite.

4. Do you prefer woolen kilts or kilts made from alternative materials (cotton, etc)? Like Rocky, it depends on weather. I'm a big proponent of the traditionals in wool, but PV has its place in the summer...

6. Do you wear a kilt at your place of employment? Yup.

7. How many kilts do you own (tartan and/or solid color)? 18 so far, with orders coming up for two more (Look out, Rocky, here I come!).

8. At what age did you first wear a kilt? 13 years old.

9. Do any other members of your family wear a kilt? Nope, although my great-grandfather did before he passed away.

10. If you’re married, did you get married in a kilt and what kilt (tartan or solid color) did you wear? Married? I'm only a poor college student...I can barely afford my kilt addiction, let alone a girlfriend/fiance/wife!
