Okay...smiling is an exercise right...more facial muscle exercise from smiling from the buttery soft feel of leather.....
Hmmm, gave up booze, pot, nicotine, and caffeine...oughta be allowed a few healthy addicitons...sensual pleasures that don't cause health damage....like wrapping myself in a wee bit of soft leather...

Well the ladies seem to love the leather kilts. I photographed a guy in a leather kilt in Edinburgh once and his pic gets a lot more hits in my Flickr albums than any of the pics of me in kilts, and two or three of the ladies on my Flickr contacts list have asked if they could meet him. Maybe its the swoon factor makes you feel good in leather Ron.

| | | Ron,
You might have a strong dependency on the kilt. Maybe a fetish???!! However, addiction is: in spite of adverse consequences, you're still gonna do it, like all the negative things that come your way, and you'll still wear the kilt. Hmm, any negative things comin' your way? I can't think of any when I wear mine.
Kilt on>>>> it's just a fetish! We all have one, or two, or SIX!!! |

I feel your pain Ron. I have one customer who owns 7 leather kilts from me. I just did a count and I only have 8. I have a number of customers that have two so you are in good company. Now when you have one of these urges come hit you, I have a blog you can visit that illustrates how I make these leather kilts. http://www.rkilts.com/blog/index.php...videos-galore/
So enjoy from your friendly leather "Pusher"
I best get back to work as I have a few more waiting in line. Just finished one today and it's off to New Zealand tomorrow

Well, thank God I'm not "that bad" yet....I'm okay...only have three leather kilts...real leather kilt junkies have seven leather kilts....I'm okay...I can probably buy a few more and still not have a "problem."
Somewhere there's a doctoral thesis on "Which is more addictive - crack cocaine or leather kilts?"

Hey cousin!
Jeez, lets see here...
4-Maybe my reputation is affected, no clue what others around town are thinking when I sally forth kilted in leather. Went to a freind's 80th birthday party yesterday, must have been 100 old geezers there. Not a single comment pro or con.
6-The bank is still backing my credit so I think I'm okay there...paying down the balance all the time...still have food on the table.
7-Just you guys...
11- YES, that's a part of the problem...
19-Well yeah...that's what its for right...?
To all the others a resounding NO!!
I've been known to wear leather vests and leather jackets with leather kilts...is that like ordering a double?

Oh thanks Glen, now I know I have a problem. Ignorance was truly bliss. I suppose I could give you my leather Rkilt but that would just be transplanting my problems onto you.

Starting to feel all warm down there thinking about a kilt the way Ron describes it. Almost makes me want to have one, but I just don't know.....
