"I wear kilts," or "I wear the kilt." What do you say?

Context has to define usage.

It would not be correct to say "I have 24 of the kilt in my kollection" but it would be correct to say "I am a proud wearer of the kilt of which there are 24 in my kollection."

That's quite helpful. Now . . . is there a general rule for contextual use?
