    Also, this is just a musing and may be completely wrong, but it seems that in Scotland owning multiple kilts may raise the question among those around you "WHY do you own multiple kilts?"
    In America, as soon as a person buys ONE kilt, they've already become "the guy with the kilt", so whether you own one or ten, it doesn't change others' perception of you much.

    I don't own only one pair of jeans, slacks, or dress shirts, and I'm not strongly attached to any of them. But I do enjoy kilts, so I'd like to acquire more as finances permit.
    I ws actually commenting on a member complaining that he could not afford another tartan that he really wanted and his wardrobe was full. All I was suggesting was a way to solve the problem, like the Scots generally appear to do. In other words, one kilt and more room in the wardrobe and of course, is less expensive
