Time changes things

I'd be afraid to put it down.. it's camouflage, I may never find it again.

But, seriously, I've been thinking about a Utilikilt lately.

Ya know, I would not have ever considered a camo... until now.
Good one!

you guys are scaring me, I just now have my first year with a single kilt, Lamont ancient. I have a second due any time, the Lamont modern. "That's it" is what I have been telling myself.

Hello my name is George....

Just remember, George, we do have help for you with your kilt addition in the X-Marks 12 step program:

Step 3. Buy flashes.
Step 4. Buy sporrans.
Step 5. Buy kilt pins.
Step 6. Buy fly plaids.
Step 7. Buy jackets.
Step 8. Buy sgian dubhs.
Step 9. Buy shoes.
Step 10. Learn to make kilts.
Step 11. Learn to make everything else above.
Step 12. Hang out on X-Marks.

Repeat as necessary and have a good time with friends and family.

I have only been at this kilt thing for a little over 6 months but have already graduated from my personal family tartan, forrester modern, to the macdonald clan ancient of which my family is a sept, and to two subsequent regional tartans, black isle and isle of skye, simply because i like their looks. i still have a couple more family tartans i would like to get---ancient douglas and ancient red douglas since we are also a sept of that major clan and they are beautiful tartans, and allen 1996 tartan since my grandfather's mother was an Allen, plus it is a beautiful tartan. The more I get into this the more I am struck by the beauty of the various tartans, but still seek for some personal connection most of the time. One of my favorite professors in college was named Fraser and I think i would like to get something in the fraser red to honor him, since he was an important figure in my life and how I got to where I am professionally and intellectually. I guess maybe I am just looking for excuses to get some new kilts sometimes, or maybe just excuses to yearn for new ones.

....A-a-and, I used to say that I would never wear a Utilikilt or an acrylic one. But now, my girlfriend is hinting that she thinks I would look good in a Utilikilt. I'm POSSESSED!!

[Stratherrick]

I could wear kilts in non-tartan colours, but only my clan one feels 'right' to me as far as tartan goes.

However, and I truly don't mean this in a pompous way, I've no problem with others collecting kilts as a hobby.

Cheers
