    Hiya fellas, currently, I'm at seven handsewn, wool kilts. My first was MacDonald of the Isles Hunting, the Robertson mod/hunting, Robertson dress (red), then Black Watch (1950s Canadian Army-ooftah it's heavy), Black Watch (band kilt), Royal Stewart (very old 6th Army band kilt, also heavy weight), US Army tartan from Alexis Malcolm (purchased by US Army as well). I have bought most used or aquired them used or had someone else (US Army) buy them for me. The olderr ones are great for kicking aroung in, they've all had a little Guinness spilled on them (christened). The new ones I wear only on formal occasions, the others I wear as appropriate. A couple moth holes are fine for the kick around times and for pub crawls. I think I will want a tweed one next unless I can find a used hodden grey or some older used surplus military kilt. It's all good. They're more affordable when used and when they are close to the right size, fairly easy or cheap to alter. It's far easier to buy used on a sergeant's pay.

    I have two such kilts, which I treasure (God forgive me ). But come the hot and sticky weather of summer, thus far I much prefer a Sportkilt or Utilikilt!
