Sir Didymous, you ask great questions that make us think. It took some time and a full pot of coffee for me to sort this question out for me.
I really can not decide where hobby begins and ends for me at 5 years in a kilt, 85 kilts and $18573+ into it. It started for me not being comfortable in pants and shorts since I had abdominal surgery and the internal stitches caused irritation at the jean/pants waist lines. I tried a kilt with a wide belt and they solved the irritation issue and also introduced me to the comfort of breathing, non restriction below the waist. Early in the "collection " it was finding the brands and styles that fit my lifestyle and buying or building the equipment to maintain the kilts with ease. I was pretty much in t-shirts and ball caps with my kilts through this phase with no fashion sense. Then it became a fashion thing to "do it right" for nicer occasions and my plaids and tartans and accessories collection expanded. Now I think my activities here are learning / entertainment and the watching / buying / collecting may be in the hobby phase.
My experience of totally abandoning bifurcation seems very rare as I am the only one I know locally that is kilted full time.
slàinte mhath, Chuck

Pants is only a present tense verb here. I once panted, but it's all cool now.
