You might be an X Marker if...
I'm sure there are a lot more but these came to mind...
If you refer to your kilt as your “Tank“, “5 yarder“, or “Box pleat“, you might be an X Marker
If the following words “Tewksbury”, “Newsome”, and “Rab Gordon” conjure images of kilts and knives and not the people who make the them, you might be an X Marker
If you talk about a Freelander and don‘t mean the Range Rover, you might be an X Marker
If you see a rubber chicken and immediately think “GRANT!” , you might be an X Marker
If the image of a whisky glass and Dumfries Scotland are permanently linked in your mind, you might be an X Marker
If instead of Hector you say “When G Man was a pup”, you might be an X Marker
If you have a “knockabout kilt”, you might be an X Marker
If you spend more than 30 minutes a day actively thinking about clothing that you are and will not be wearing that day, you might be an X Marker
When dressing in the morning if you think “WWHD?” , you might be an X Marker
(If you got that last joke, rest assured, YOU ARE AN X MARKER!)
Cheers

I don't think I'm an X Marker. When I see a rubber chicken I think only of myself!

You might be an X-Marker if...
You do not think of the W.W.F. when someone mentions "Rocky"
You do not think of the Army when someone mentions "tank"
Your vocabulary has "weft" and "wane" in the textile section.
You see a plaid flannel shirt and try to guess the tartan.
Your business card has this website on the back with the tartan.
Your closet door has the sign WWHW.
You have the last as your morning mantra, you are an X-Marker.
You see a Picasso painting and think Panache's avatar.
You have no idea how many shirts you own, but can give a count of your kilts by type.
You schedule your days off for Burns Suppers, and kilt nights.
etc.

You guys!
It's WWAD (what would AlanH do!)

BTW, since we have moved, my kilts have a real home in the closet now. No more hanging on the back of the bedroom door!

You see ladies in plaid skirts and are more interested in the tartan than what's inside it.

I don't think I will ever be accused of something like that!
