    It's not about the wearing anymore. It's become "the having". Is that when it becomes a collection? Or is it still just an obsessive addiction?

    I've come to think of kilting as something of a hobby. I don't wear my kilt everyday but I certainly think about kilts (and related accoutrements) everyday.

    That's a great deal and what looks like a very good kilt. eBay and deals like that certainly make it easier to add to one's kollection. Congrats!

    Great find. It fits well, and at that price the word "bargain" just isn't powerful enough!
