O…M…G…The extravagance of a second kilt
O...M...G...I can't believe you have ordered a second kilt
Well, in my own defense, I needed to see what all the fuss was about regarding the box pleated kilts.
So here is a sneak peek. Feel the jones.

So, what do you think about your box-pleated kilt?

I feel your pain...
A semi-dress kilt started it for me.
Now I'm waiting on the arrival of:
- A full dress (8yd MacGregor Ancient) kilt
- A semi-casual USA Kilt Casual in MacGregor Modern
- A really-casual in Stuart Black (budget from BaK.com)
In the meantime there have been a couple of jackets
- a PC for formal
- a black Barathea Argyll for day
- a tweed Argyll to be worn with everything from a
skivvy to shirt, tie and waistcoat for a variety of
cases - a formal sporran and clan crest Sgian Dubh
- new formal hose
Help!! Does it ever end????

Roger that. After I purchased my first kilt I somehow collected four jackets. Two conversions from a local XMTS member and two Kinloch Anderson jackets from another XMTS member who has developed a need for tweed and was clearing space in his closet.

Quite so, mate! Hahahaha! And I hope those two jackets and waistcoats are serving you well. They will both look very smart with your new kilt done in the ever so beautiful and gorgeous, Culloden tartan. I can't wait to see photos of it when it is finished! Well done! 
Kindest rgeards,

The kilt just went under the kiltmaker's needle so it will be a few weeks before I actually have the kilt.

I like that little turn of phrase!

second? Just wait until the addiction really takes hold and you're bulk purchasing kilt hangers. Anne the Pleater

OK, Anne, who gives the best deal on bulk kilt-hangers?
