Hi everyone,

I'm an expatriate Philadelphian whose been living in Switerland for the last 15 years.

I'm planning to make my first kilt purchase after wanting one for more than 30 years.

I haven't made a final decision yet, but I want to thank everyone for the wealth of information on the board. It's helped me narrow it down to 2-3 makers.

welcome aboard! And what have you narrowed it down to? Tartan or solid? modern or traditional?

**GMan** · 8th August 05, 12:58 PM

Sully,

WELCOME!

Buy them both! You know you can't have just one!

Again welcome to this strange, but addictive place.

I've narrowed it down to a Stillwater standard in either the Nightwatch or Nightstalker tartan or a Pittsburgh Kilts model in brushed twill.

I'm leaning to the modern kilt at the moment. I think that it might be more appropriate for how I'm likely to wear it at the moment and I'd like to support a local maker.

In any event, I'll probably get the other for my second kilt (if it comes to that).

TWO kilts is not excessive.

no, really *twitch*...it's not. Even four kilts *twitch* is not too much. It's not

excessive. Six kilts is *twitch* OK, too. Honest. Really. Six kilts is *twitch*

just fine.

Really.

I have the same problem with watches and I can foresee the same thing with kilts.

A few months ago I needed to buy one new watch and decided to research various models on the internet first. Big mistake.

I stumbled onto the Poor Man's Watch Forum and now I have half a dozen and increasing.

I've also managed to infect my father with the bug, too! He had been wearing the same watch since about 1975. He now has more than eight.
