Pants Inventory Time

[CameronTaylor]

I've got 3 kilts with two arriving this week, two more if/and/or when Bear gets them done.
One pair od work jeans that aren't obscene (worn-through in compromising places, another reason I won't kilt at work. The girl at the bank on friday's liked them though ....)
Three pairs of Levi's 517s
Two pairs of Dockers not seen in 2 years
One pair of dress slacks

And Oh My God !, how did I get so damned many shoes ??? I used to have one pair of tennies and one pair of boots !

New Years in HB with my kilted and Irish brothers was a hoot and the smiles from the ladies when they saw us in kilts is a great thing.

CT - note to self, more than two glasses of champagne is NOT a good idea ...

Two pairs. A pair of jeans, and a pair of olive green shorts. That's it. Kilts: Six. Three traditionals, three utilikilts. The jeans are rarely worn, but sometimes the shorts are worn a bit more frequently. Mainly for stuff in the garage, or when I'm pulling some treasure out of a junkyard. When I find a well-worn UK that fits me, that will replace both the jeans and the shorts.

Three Jeans (black) in my locker

Because:

real men wear kilt but my boss ordered me to wear these sissy trousers

(says that in my screensaver at work!)

[Mr. Kilt]

3 pair of uniform pants for work, 3 pair of jeans (2 of which haven't been worn in years) that I have for motorcycle riding, and a couple pair of dress pants that haven't been worn in years as well. I may have to donate some of them to charity, although I'll keep 2 pair of jeans for riding the bike.

Kilts in the closet...5, not counting the Mountain Kilt that I no longer wear.
1 Bear Blackwatch grizzly cut
1 Traditional 9-yd Irish National by Southern Celts
1 Kiltmart(?) Pride of Scotland budget kilt
1 forest green Buzz Kidder
1 black Original Utilikilt

Future kilts...3 or 4 Stillwater Standards in various tartans as I can afford them, plus some more UKs and/or Freedom Kilts.

EEEEeeek! Ron, what are you DOING to me? At 58 kilts, 59 from 14th Jan., I have slowed down to a point where you are likely to catch up with me! This is an intolerable situation in which I can see I'll have to cancel my plans to have the house redecorated this spring! I must splash out on new kilts, not paint, to maintain my position and reputation! Have pity, man!

59 kilts?!?!... WOW... I don't have 59 of anything, not even socks or t-shirts. I had the impression that you had quite a few, but WOW, 59!?! You could wear one a day for 2 months and not worry about repeating!! I can only assume then that you must "collect" them the way others collect coins or stamps. Do you have some mounted and preserved behind glass; some imbued with special values?... like a rare Kilt worn by a famous celeb or one woven with gold thread?

(och! gold thread! that would look just tacky!)

Or is it just some odd O.C.D. type thing?

Now the $64000 question: if we unfolded/unpleated/unwrapped all of Ham's kilts and put them end-to-end, how far would we get?

This thread makes me feel “kilt poor”, with only 5 kilts hanging in the closet and 1 in the mail. I have fabric to make 2 more, its just finding the time to sew them up. So the count works out like this:

2 kilts I made in a green tartan fabric.
2 Utilikilts (kaki, and olive originals).
1 Amerikilt in Marpat.
1 Stillwater in nightstalker (soon to arrive).

The fabric that’s waiting to be kilted in cotton poly in woodland camouflage, for kicking around and brush busting when I go hiking.

As far as pants, 6 uniform pants (no kilted cops in this town). 4 pair of jeans, 4 dress pants, and a handful of hiking shorts that are soon to be replaced with a couple more Utilikilts.

I have 6 pairs of jeans, I believe. One has a huge hole ripped in the backside, so those'll be sewn up and used only in the forge and studio. Also have one pair of khaki pants, one pair of black pants, a couple pairs of Scout shorts and a pair of Scout pants. I also have a pair of 14th century hosen I'm making, but those don't count. Compare that to only 3 wear-on-a-day-to-day-basis kilts and a greatkilt, and I'm starting to feel trousered But that's a situation I'm hoping to slowly correct!

[Alan H]

Hmmm... interesting question.

2 plairs of "blue" jeans
1 pair black jeans
1 pair gray dress slacks
1 pair brown dress slacks
2 pair "Dockers-type" casual twill slacks
1 pair Gramici ultra lightweight long pants for backpacking

4 pair shorts, sailing and backpacking

1 pair long rain pants
2 pairs long X-C skiing tights.

Kilts

2 Stillwaters
1 Bear
1 USA Kilts
1 self-made

coming..one poly-wool Holyrood from Caledonia-Kilts
under construction by me: 1 wool kilt, unknown tartan
fabric in the bag: X Marks tartan

When that's all done I'll have 8 kilts. If I could have whatever I wanted, I'd get two more...a Gray Stewart and a kilt in the California Tartan. OK, and a basic Freedom Kilt with pockets....three more. That's all..Honest. NO, really. That's ALL.

stop looking at me like that.

I have two pairs of jeans, and a pair of Dickies work pants to wear when I'm riding the Buell. All other pants and shorts I just gave away to a thriftshop.

As for cilts...
1 black original UK,
1 'Nightstalker' cilt from Stillwater,
and one redone 'woodland camo' cilt that my wife helped me sew.

My next cilt will be a FreedomKilt when I pay off my card. I don't like to wear pants anymore, my wedding tackel loves the breeze. ;-)
