I did an odd thing this past weekend.

I tossed three kilts in the garbage can.

Two were camouflage cotton/poly. Years ago on a backpack trip the mice had gotten after one of them. I repaired the damage but then weekend before last I got a mess of PL100 polyurethane glue on it. Ooops. Oh, well. It served me well for about 7 years. The other one, I never liked it all that much, anyway.

The tartan kilt was one I made from old Fraser and Kirkbright poly-wool. There was really nothing wrong with it, I had just stopped wearing it, long ago.

It was very strange to actually put kilts in the TRASH. Very strange. so now I'm down to

MacNaughton, Ancient wool 8 yard
Capercaillie, modern wool 6 yard
California Tartan, modern, box pleat (s)
Grey Stewart, lightweight wool 7 yard (s)
Gryphon Kilts contemporary
Lindsay, modern wool/poly 6 yard (s)
MacNaugthon, weathered polyester-viscose 6 yard...my throwing kilt.
Scottish National, synthetic 8 yard from the Gold Bros.

I'll be adding the Wilcat Tartan kilt someday. I might wait until I lose 30 pounds to make it, though. Kilts marked with an (s), above are currently too small for me to really wear. If I lose 30-40 pounds I'll fit in them again. Then I'll have to decide what to do with the others. The MacNaughton, ancient, I'll re-sew. The Gryphon Kilt, I'll have to give away, regretfully. The Scottish National, I'll probably re-sew, as the over-apron is all wonky anyway and all I have to do to make it right is re-do the edge of the over-apron and the corresponding waistband. One afternoon and it's done. I have four yards of MacNaughton PV, so I'll throw away the current kilt (it's sun-faded anyway) and make a new, simple one just for athletics.
