What's on your list?

[tkdog]

Looking at davidg's new MacKay weathered made me decide to formalize the mental wish list of kilts I've been gathering (not in order):

11oz PV semi-trad Xmarks tartan
16oz 5 yd wool in Isle of Skye (to add to the casual Rocky just sent me)
16oz 5 yd wool in MacKay Weathered
16oz 5 yd wool in Maple Leaf
16oz 4-5 yd wool box-pleat from Matt Newsome in his New House Highland tartan (my wife really likes it)
...and the list goes on.

So...what's on your list?

[Joshua]

Tank in Double Davidson, pleated to stripe, black straps. For the fancy stuff...
Knife pleated Davidson Weathered, to sett, 6 yarder, with brown leather straps. (giving me a comfortable daywear kilt that is comfy and jives well with my brown leathers and tweed).
At least two non-tartan kilts, perhaps one in camo ripstop and the other in black. (hunting and idpa wear)

[J_Mimbs]

Custom Alt Kilt, somewhat understated for everyday wear
Possibly a Stillwater Heavyweight in Green
USA Kilts tank in 16oz Lamont
Freedom Kilts dress model
Another custom Alt Kilt, this one full on Steampunk

Funny you should ask, just finished mine:

Tanks
1.Dunbar Modern (Kathy Larre) Knife
2.Dunbar Ancient (M.A.C. Newhouse) Kingussie [on order, in the Que]
3.US Navy (Edzell) (M.A.C. Newhouse) Kingussie
Casual
1.Cladish (USA Kilts) Semi-trad
2.American Herritage (USA Kilts) casual
3.Spirit of Scotland (Celtic Coft) economy [on order]
4.Holyrood (USA) Semi-Trad [on order]
5.Warrior (USA) casual
Historic

And I'd really like one of Lady Chrystel's double box 3 pleat modern kilts in a tartan based on the Dunbar tartan with the green replaced with blue.

Really only one left for me, that being a tank in Weathered Douglas (Lochcarron), for which I already have the tartan ready to ship off to Bonnie Heather Greene in the next month or so, once my weight stabilizes after a few pounds shed this summer and fall.

I still have 5 DW yards of the regimental weight 18oz Black Watch tartan sitting in a drawer that I am not sure what to do with. I would love to have a tank in traditional military tartan pleated to stripe (my first pleated to stripe) in my collection, but remain a bit concerned about inciting a historic conflict by putting such a beast in the kilt closet next to my MacDonald of Glencoe kilt. Or selling off the tartan and ridding myself of the temptation. Still considering my options with that one.

I also designed a variant of the Forrester Modern tartan in the "traditional" Dress tartan style that I sent in to the Clan Forrester leadership for consideration having adopted as an official tartan of the clan, and would consider having some yardage of that woven up and sewn up into a kilt, although that in some ways is a bit of a pipe dream.

Still looking to fill out the accessories collection with a nice horsehair sporran, and a badger full mask sporran, and some other accoutrements of traditional highlandwear, both dress and daywear.

I rather fancy a new kilt made from weathered tartan, but given the "divorcing need from necessity" upbringing of mine, I doubt that it will ever happen!

[Tobus]

I'm still hoping for a tank in weathered Colquhoun, which would be a custom weave. I will probably do it next year. Pleated to the sett.

I really don't see why I would need any more kilts after that.

[Black Watch]

A double box pleated Leslie tartan kilt made by Lady Chrystel is im my mind.
I already have the cloth - 7,5yd 18oz ex MOD wool - and I am now saving money to place the order.

I think I've made it through having any pressing needs for new kilts, as I have one in each of the Macmillan tartans that strike my fancy. I do currently have a kilt length of 16 oz MacInnes Hunting Ancient in my closet that is patiently awaiting a commitment of funds from me. There are many other clan tartans that I find quite attractive, but do struggle more these days with wearing clan tartans for which I have no actual connection. When I was new here I had a short arms length list of tartans I was sure to get kilts in, but that has since gone be the wayside following my change in perspective. Of those remaining fashion/district/universal tartans, here are a few I like in no particular order:

Lochaber, WOB (Strathmore)
Manx Hunting (HOE)
Dutch Friendship (Lochcarron-custom ?)
Maple Leaf (Batley)
Holyrood (Lochcarron or Marton Mills.)
California Modern (Marton Mills)

There are likely others, but those come to mind right off the top.

My addiction to kilts and kilt accessories has my bachelor cave crammed with way too many of everything.

I do however crave one more kilt in a tartan that seems not to exist. Somewhere - I copied this from some vendor's website - Weathered Fletcher.



Sadly, the tartan seems a computer creation, or long gone, not available. I have a strong Fletcher bloodline but I'm just not much on the Fletcher tartans available.

This one I like, but can't find....so, its on my list in case it emerges someway, somehow.

A wool Inverness Cape is also on my list....someday....I don't need one....I want one...rather my inner kilt addict craves one...
