I wear around the house my SWK Irish National. when i go out I can choose from the 2 I have made,, my black PK , canvas kilt ,Irish Diaspora or my hill walker.

AAAHHH! It gets worse! Heres the current score:
1 Workmans U.K.
6 Stillwater Standerds,Blackwatch.
1 S.W Heavyweight,Black.
3 S.W Heavyweight Blackwatch.
1 S.W Heavyweight Nightstalker.
2 Militery Kilts,22oz.,Blackwatch.
1 8 Yard,hand sewn,Bruce tarten.
I'm not sure if it's an addiction to Blackwatch or a fetish thing. All the Stillwaters are the ones I wear to work,since their relativly cheap,I don't worry about messing them up.

Right now I'm in a shadow tartan STW heavyweight. Its been my mainstay since fall slid into winter. (Snowing outside at the moment.) Yesterday I finally got the tank I won on ebay nearly a month ago. Even though I need to get it hemmed up about 4 inches I wore it round the house most of yesterday including an outdoor shopping expedition in freezing conditions. I was surprised to find it not very much warmer than the STW. Its a Blackwatch tartan, not my fave, but the colours look better than my STW Blackwatch standard. Beside the screaming green and blue of the STW, the colours of the tank look like a dark turquoise and purple. Kinda cool.

OK that's three kilts suitable for the current season. In addition, I have a budget acrylic kilt in Ancient Gordon. This puppy is going to need lots of work before I'll wear it out of the house.

Also have an 8 yard Bear Classic Cut in Ramsey Blue, a SportKilt in Black Stewart, two ladies kilt "skirts"- both wool 4 yarders, one is heather gray and the other an unknown green 'n brown tartan. Then there is my first kilt, a UK black denim and on the way, a black casual FK due in a week or so.

Since donning me first kilt on July 31st of this year, I haven't worn trousers since, except at work. My workmates have encouraged me to work kilted but its very dirty work (bicycle mechanic). Its bad enough getting cleaned up at the end of the day without having to scrub my knees as well! And I've begun to enjoy getting trousers filthy. Serves 'em right, I say :-)

I've all ready given 50-some years of my life to pants. Never more, never more. Maybe I'll live another 50. If so, I plan to go down kilted!

I'm a stay at home dad (do to a back injury), so I'm able to wear my kilt 24/7. The great thing about it, is my children (my daughter is 4 and my son is 11 months old) don't have a problem with their old man in a kilt. The only problem is I have one kilt, a black original UK. I am in the process of making my first kilt, 'cause I don't want to wear pants anymore.

Well I'm one of the lucky ones. I own my own business so as the boss I call the shots. And I say kilts are in. I actually made them official policy (with existing trousered employees grandfathered into being allowed to remain bifurcated).

So if its during the day I'm wearing one of my ten kilts. I still have a long way to go to catch up to Ham, but I plan on it! So 9 times out of 10 I'm sitting here in a kilt. And when bedtime comes I still refuse to go bifurcated. I found a great flannel blackwatch nightshirt for colder evenings and a very nice cotton pin-strip nightshirt (Brooks Bros) for summer. Ahh, the comfort of never, ever wearing trousers or shorts or anything like again (except when swimming of course!).

I only have a black microfiber AK, wear it as much as possible, whatever my wife let's me get away with. (She is supportive, She bought it for me!, just still getting used to it!)

I have ordered Barb's book, and plan to use it to make my own. I'll use it as a guide, since the book for "Casual" kilts hasn't been published yet!

My wife is a fantastic seamstress, so I am comfortable with her guidance.

Kilt On! Whew!

[Phil Wright]

Not wearing any at present but got the kit ready for tomorrow!!!

Got a bit carried away this year so my count has gone up a bit....
Hamilton Casual - family tartan
Chisholm Casual - (nearly) family tarten + I like the colours
Frazer tank - impulse buy when in the Cairngorms - favoured regional affiliation?
MacDuff tank - bought on e-bay, vintage hand-made
Denim squared - made by me pre book
MacQueen full 8 yd - made using Barb's book
Black PV casual - cheap & cheerful
Douglas PV casual - cheap & cheerful also but related to the Hamilton line too.

I've tried to stick to the family connections - some very tenuously, but at the end of the day it's what I've seen & liked. Besides I've been threatened with having my Scottish connections removed if I get any more!!!!!
