Welcome to the asylum.

We all understand each other here, even when the cold world outside doesn't.

There is no cure. After completing my X Kilt, I counted and I have 16 kilts and I just started wearing kilts a year ago! You are doomed my friend. Like P1M said, malt whisky helps to mask the symptoms. You can never go back....

As you have discovered, kilts are addictive. Welcome to the support group.

**Riverkilt** · 30th August 06, 08:22 AM

Ahh Bill,

You got it...welcome.

I lost count somewhere in the low 40s. Wouldn't be so bad if I didn't keep finding a tartan I really liked, or realize I need a kilt for this or that.

My relapse triggers have been the smell of leather, the sway of hand sewn traditional kilts, and hanging around tartan finder websites.

I think I'm over my Utilikilt binge since I practically own one of everything they make in most colors....except the cords and the spartans...no interest in either.

In a word, Bill: No!

We are all pleased you made it here and look forward to hearing of your progress as the addiction grips you ever tighter!

A word of advice from an old lag, if you will permit me? In the early stages of your addiction, and in the ensuing years whilst you have responsibilities, progress with great caution and exercise as much control as you can muster - turn to the KA (Kilties Anonymous) if necessary - there is no shame in it. Later, maybe many years later, when the responsibilities are no longer weighing you down, then you can throw caution to the wind and truly indulge that addiction ........... but don't leave it too late as I almost did!!

And that's why I think of Hamish as an international kilted living treasure....

Ahhh. Now you understand.

I just finished my first X-Kilt (Thanks Alan!) Pics will follow in another thread, but now I see MANY new kilts in my future for a fraction of the usual cost. Consider feeding your new addiction with your own creations.
WAHOO!!

There's definetly merit in the addiction theory. I'm still trying to figure out how I acquired 46 in the past year.
