    Gotta love that equation
    Simple, and accurate.

    Do you mean the number of pair, or each individual shoe?

    Do sandals count?

    Slippers?

    Does it matter? I'm positive the kilt wearer would be just as happy either way, amirite?

    Ah, well, what's a kiltie to do? Don't be too apologetic about the addiction, it could be an addiction to controlled substances, or abuse or other bad behavior--this amounts to a hobby only. Your wife should be happy that your hobby is not racing cars or flying airplanes, two really expensive and really dangerous hobbies. The kilt hobby is a comparative walk in the park for our suffering spouses. After watching friends, cousins, other family have to deal with husbands who have real issues, my wife has come around!

Hard on the piper; hard on them all; hard on the world." Butcher's Broom, by Neil Gunn, 1994 Walker & Co, NY, p. 397-8.

    I refuse to admit I have a kilt addiction. I must be in denial. My last addict group did not have the 12 step program quite like Livingston has it. I want to join his group!!

    I feel ya. I don't like wearing the same thing over and over. Unfortunately, I only have 5 kilts. And yeah, there is 5 work days in a week (really just 4 for this lucky b@st@rd ), but I don't think I could wear the same kilts every day of every week. Maybe I need to add 2 more to my collection. That would be ideal....

    Or perhaps more sensibly (from an economic standpoint) I should just add more sporrans, pins, hose and shirts to accessorize. I just need to find a place that sells shirts with the traditional kilt colors (bottle green, blue, etc.) that'll match my tartans....

    Just remember that your closet space needs to be enlarged. I had to do mine.

    I am the proud owner of 10 kilts. Which reminds me, I need to update my profile on here.

    Halloween is celebrated here the entire weekend before Halloween. Last Halloween I only dressed up one of the days, and the other I went kilted. Everyone who didn't know me mentioned how great my costume was, everyone who did know me asked why I wasn't dressed up.

    I also get the "Where's the kilt?" on days when I wear pants. So much fascination with our garments...
