Kilts and your clothing budget

That's because during the BKE phase, you were part of the grey expanse of men's attire... A kilt changes that by sending you right to center stage where you instinctlively want to look your best. Mostly.

Only ten times more?

I see your ten and raise - ah - on the grounds that it might incriminate me I think I'll change that to 'pass'

I think I'll hide behind the Fifth Amendment on this one.

I can definitely relate, although for me that's more like a yarly amount. Before it was buy an article of clothing and wear it until it begins to disintegrate. I've got clothes in my closet that are YEARS old. And accessorizing? Before kilts it was only what was necessary, like a belt to hold up the pants. Now? Oh my gosh!

Same here. At one time ripped jeans and a semi-clean shirt was all I needed. With wearing cilts it's a whole different story, now I have to be colour coordinated before I even think about leaving my house. I used to have to wait for my wife, now she waits for me.

Now, I am still a newby and I guess I've spent about $800 over the past month and seeing what some of you guys have bought and "jones" over, I can only imagine what some guys have spent. Is this an addiction? Do we need a K.A.? (oops, that's my college fraternity!)

Well, it's certainly true that kilts can be and usually are a "life changing" experience. Is there a psychologist out there among us? A psychiatrist? We'd make a fascinating group to study, I'm sure. (Maybe we could even get paid for it and use the money to buy more kilts?

There is a professional clinical counselor here, but he's got it worse than most of us! His kilt collection is in the 30 - 40 range, I believe.
