Great retrospective. I started my kilting experience at 49. I am now 50 and have made all of my own kilts except the first one (I call it the acrylic beast). The only kilt that I made that I don't love entirely (except my first practice kilt) is the last kilt I made from black crepe material. So, I am not ready to recycle any kilts. I do look forward to the day that I may, as you have, to recycle a kilt.
