    How Do You Choose?

    I got to thinking this morning (I know, I know - careful there). Those of you who wear kilts more or less regularly as daily wear, how do you choose which kilt to wear? Do you wear the same one several days in a row? Do you wear a diffeent one each day? Do you alternate tartan and solid? Do you do tartan weeks and solid weeks? Or, do you just open the closet and wear what strikes your fancy that day? Just curious.

    At this point (21 kilts and counting) I figure out what SHIRT I want to wear and then match it to a kilt. It's easier that way... hahaha

    I have about 10 kilts that get REGULAR wear and a few that get SOME wear and a couple that don't get any wear (just got tired of the tartans). Those last few I will probably sell for cheap and invest in some more wool!

    This is my problem as well. I need a few more shirts to go with the various kilts that I have....I need to stop buying as many kilts and a few more kilt accessories

    It's often a matter of which is closest at hand. I also never wear the same kilt two days in a row, though I may wear it every other day.

    It depends on what I want to do, and the look I am going for. Something dressy? Either my UK olive mocker or the SWK Nightwatch.
    Tough guy look? UK Workmans, and color depends on which shirt and boots I want to wear.

    Something more wild and fun? One of the camo kilts.

    Need lots of pockets? UK Survival or Workmans.

    I tartan all the time ( and all my family tartan ). Only wear the UK when I don't want to get my tartans kilts damaged, because we all know UK's are damn-near indestructable.
