You need to consider the DIY'ers. You don't buy a Sgian you buy the forge to make your own Damascus blades and then there are all the woods for handles, a new sewing machine to handle kilts, and . . .

Hell I had all the tools, it was just a matter of getting the fever, so to speak.
In two years I went from one FC black watch to now having more than 25 kilts, most of which I have made, one nice hand made from Matt Newsome, and waiting on two more from Matt. And prowling the internet for good fabric deals all the time.
My problem has been that since I found 16 oz strome, and 18 oz regimental wool tartan, nothing else will do.
Still, it could be worse. Boots, or swords, that's a bunch worse (thank God for swordaholics). I have a weakness for guns as well.
Kilts aren't so bad for an addiction, comparatively.
