    In jest, whatever happened to quality and not quantity? Or, does that not apply to kilts? I'm quite happy with the two that I have (while a third from Matt will be on the way soon enough) but I certainly don't feel the need to be 'king of the hill'. Let Hamish reign while he still can and leave it at that. ;)

    Why not quality and quantity? You can never have enough of both.

    1 Taylor traditional from the Tartan Patch (heavy and expensive but well worth the cost to have the family colors)
    1 British Columbia tartan from Bearkilts
    1 Olive Utilikilt
    1 McCloud tartan Sportkilt (similar to the Muir and California tartans)
    1 Irish National (will be here next week with
    1 Pride of Scotland (saw this at the Ventura Highland games - had to have one)
    6 is a good well-rounded number but ...
    I like the Amerikilt in Denim, the black leather Rkilt, dream of a couple PittsburghKilts (two-tone), a Stillwater or two, Freedom + the Xmarks 2.

    I have the same number of jeans/dockers as kilts now.

    CT - have a Pyrmaid Tilted Kilt with lunch

    I'll have to agree on the quality over quantity issue. 21 of my kilts are either Thomas Gordon and son,Hecter Russell,Geoffry Tailor or Loccharron.
    All of them came from estate sales, E-Bay or from several friends. I had no idea I'd accumulate this many so quickly.

    Well, I'm not trying to catch Ham, don't know if that's even possible...just love kilts and the FREEDOM they provide :grin:

    Ordered my first kilt on August 3, 2004

    Quit wearing pants on August 4, 2005

    Current inventory of kilts is 31 in house, two on order, plus two Macabi River Skirts, not kilts but out there for this old bird.

    1 RKilt, Saffron leather

    1 USAKilt Thomson Gray semi-trad
    and an Ireland's National semi-trad on order

    4 AmeriKilts, Putty, Forest, Black, Tiger Stripe camo

    3 SportKilts, Macdonald and Scott Skye (gathered), Black Stewart (pleated)

    3 Pittsburgh Kilts, Desert MARPAT, Forest MARPAT, Tri-color Arizona Flag kilt (custom).

    2 Freedom Kilts, CADPAT (a treasure), and Desert camo

    13 Utilikilts, 3 Survivals, 3 Mockers, 3 Workman's, 2 Originals, Blue Denim and Brown leather

    3 Kathy's Kilts (hand sewn traditionals) Macdonald Lord of the Isles, Macdonald of Kingsburgh, X Marks the Scot, and a Cameron Red and Black on order.

    I am in the back of the line with just one lonely 8 yard tank, but I am planning on purchasing a Matt Newsome box pleat later this year.

    Sooner or later my wife gonna ask me "Don't you get tired of wearing the same kilt all of the time?" Then I've got to make a decision which tartan is next - Campbell, Lamont, McGregor or Bruce? The last time I made a list I had 18 tartans to choose from. So few kilts, so many tartans!
