Well From a Martin to a Marten,
Welcome to the rabble and to wearing of the Kilt.
It is indeed a fun addiction, I started with a Stillwater Thrifty and am up to 4 with 2 more on order (all within 4 months).
Hopefully my next order will include a Cameron.
Cheers,

Cheers,
Thriftys are great summer wear, and no doubt. Get yourself a nice heavyweight. Even the standards are great, but SWK heavyweights are exceptional for the price.

I got a heavyweight the first time, and I have to say, all my future kilts will be the same, it's perfect really, for winter or summer. In summer I can see how I can easily stay cool, and in the winter(right now of course) I can stand outside for hours without getting cold. But I certainly wouldn't want anything thinner, I like the "heavy" feel of it.
And as this is my third day of wearing it, I have to say, I may never wear pants again! My kilt is comfortable, stylish and convenient. I've had some smart remarks, and the usual good natured ribbing, but I've got a typical Danish sense of humor, so I don't mind. And the comments I get from many of my female coworkers certainly outweighs anything I get from the negative side of the spectrum.
I've now worn out the line, "If it was a skirt, I'd be wearing underwear." 
I have to say, it makes every day a little more fun, despite the drabness of working in a call center.

Congratulations
I will wait for you to have some really hot and humid weather to see if you change your tune on light weight kilts. But enjoy your "heavy weight" now in the cooler weather.

It's a deal! After wearing nothing but jeans for years and years of Florida summers, I don't see where my kilt could be any worse, but like you say, in about 6 months we'll see.

I haven't worn pants in months myself for those very reasons. I have one heavy weight, 2 standards, and one Amerikilt. The Amerikilt is way too cool to wear right now, but the SWKs are perfect.

Seconded! Wool in 100+ degree weather sucks! I learned that the hard way at a festival this summer...

Congrats on the new kilt! This truly is an addiction. I am planning on making my next purchase a SWK Standard Weathered Mackenzie. I love that tartan, it's got all of my favorite colors in it. Once again, welcome to the rabble!
