    An Inventory of the Kollection

    I have a list of the collection as of about May 2006 when it was at about 60 some kilts.

    Wonder if anyone has kept track of the Kollection since - or wants to research it?

    Interesting that back then the Kollection was about 2:1 contemporary kilts to tartan kilts.

    Here's what I have from a post by Ham.

    Of course just reading the inventory of the Kollecton is enough to trigger "kilt lust" for a new kilt or three....

    Kilt Kollection Inventory Update

    Were Ham not so busy I imagine he could provide a better listing. Went back through his posts and managed to put together this listing since the above post.

    The numbers kind of skip around sometimes...so gonna leave them out and just list the kilts since the above post from Ham.

    Brittany National by La Maison du Kilt
    Brittany Walking by Tartan National Breton
    Brown denim pinstripe by an annonymous donor (with TFCK kilt pin)
    Corrnish National by Cornovi
    Utilikilt Workman's in Chocolate Brown
    Utilikilt Tan Original (to replace earlier zip up version)
    Utilikilt Tan Corduroy
    Prince of Wales USA Kilts semi-trad in PV
    Caledonia USA Kilts semi-trad in PV
    Breton Tartan by La Maison do Kilt
    Isle of Skye by Barb Tewksbury
    Bronze Leather R Kilt
    Craig Ancient by Geoffrey (Tailor)
    3 piece pinstripe kilt suit from TFCK
    Edwards Welsh tartan 5 yard casual
    Union Kilts house tartan in wool/acrylic blend by Union Kilts
    Weathered Red Gordon by Geoffrey (Tailor)
    Tweed kilt suit by TFCK
    Tweed kilt suit by House of Bruar-Erskine
    Royal Scottish Country Dance Society tartan by Tartan Kilts
    Ardbeg tweed by Anne Campbell
    Blaklader Hi-Vis bright yellow work kilt
    County Caven by Geoffrey (Tailor)
    Khaki cotton AlphaKilt
    Buchannan old sett weathered by ScotWeb
    A wee kilt attached to a card in an unknown fashion tartan (listed as #91)
    Macmillan Black by March Brae
    Galloway Hunting by Geoffrey (Tailor)
    Manx Hunting by Manninkilt
    A fashion tartan in double box pleat from Lady Chrystel
    Tara/Murphey by USA Kilts in PV semi-trad
    MacBeth Ancient

    So know that's not in order - if there is an order - and know that's not all 98 to date...anyone know what #99 is or will be?

    The list is very impressive, and while it would be a tedious undertaking, photos would really be phenomenal.

    Yes, I would love to see all his kilts, but if he can't post them, I would understand.

    Riverkilt,

    What gets me is the 25 year gap between the first kilt and the second kilt which precipitated the kiltsplosion.

    Look no further than Hamish's own Online Kilt Gallery for pictures of all of his kilts (up to 98, I believe).

    I understand from Robert that there should also be a British Rebel Tan leather RKilt from 2005 in the Kollection Inventory.


    And thanks for the gallery link Cygnus...had thought that was still under construction.

    A great wish list for the rest of us!

    From the first pic in his online gallery, it looks like he used to be a dancer? The man never ceases to amaze
