I make all my kilts now, and I've got material for three more beyond the one I'm working on currently. I might bang out one more camo kilt. Maybe. And one for Piper George and that's IT.
Except........

I could make a list well into double digits of all the kilts and accessories that I'd like, but to keep things simple, I'll list only the kilts that I want most, in order of importance.
1. A tank in the Malcolm tartan (my family name)
2. A 16oz wool Newsome box pleat in the US Army tartan (I served in the Army)
3. A kilt of undecided weight and format in the US Navy tartan (to honor my Grandfather's service in WWII)
4. A kilt of undecided weight and format in the X Marks The Scot tartan (in honor of all the great people and information I've found here)

For now, my want list is short mainly because of lack of funds. And since I opt to buy the more expensive hand made kilts, then my list is therefore short by design.
Already acquired:
1- Ancient MacKay 13oz kilt from Burnett and Struth
2- Sporran, hose and fly palid
3- Argyle and waiscoat
Want list:
1- Modern Bruce tartan hand made 13 oz kilt (great-grandmother)
2- Isle of Sky tartan hand made 13 oz kilt (because I like it)
Maybe:
1- utilikilts

I have three kilts so far:-
Irish National
Solid Black
County Cork (House of Edgar version)
I have a fourth Kilt on the way, a Solid Green one.
After that, I don't know.
I do want another SportKilt, but I'm not sure which tartan, except it will be an Irish one of some kind. Maybe All Ireland Green, maybe St. Patrick, maybe even Irish Clover?
I would also like a Solid Saffron kilt, but I am cheap! I don't see the $70 Solid Saffron Standard on the Stillwater Kilts site now. Maybe they are just out of stock? I can wait. I know they have the Heavyweight in the Saffron Shadow tartan, but it's more money and I'd really prefer it to be just a solid colour.
Eventually I would like a kilt in Callaghan tartan, but that will have to be made specially as they aren't available anywhere and the fabric is special order, so not anytime soon.
Ideally, I would also like one in St. George, to represent England, but this is a special order tartan as well, so Callaghan takes precedence.
I like the Arsenal FC (soccer club) tartan too, and I'm a supporter, but all I've seen available in it was a dog lead, and I don't even have a dog!
I know there's no way I'm ever having as many as three kilts made up from special order tartans! I'm not made of money.
I really like the Caledonia tartan for some reason. OK, I like things that are bright and gaudy, but it's well down my list, after all those others. I'm not Scottish anyway.
