I was seeped in Scottish heritage by my grandfather Murdoch. I wore tartan neckties and bought tartan blankets and bathrobes in our clan tartans. Even after attending many highland games and watching pipers parade I never once considered wearing a kilt myself.

Then, like Southern Breeze, two years ago I was a the Arizona Ren Faire and saw a guy in a Utilikilts workman's and had to have one. I got the name of the company off the logo on the back pocket. Found them on line, and ordered a UK Camo original. The jones time was like three months so I bought a SportKilt in the meantime.

They came in about the same time and I wore them to a professional conference. Was such a joy to sit kilted and to wander around kilted, and get such positive comments from the ladies I just kept buying more. Wore them to work a lot. Went full time over seven months ago. Now own 34 kilts...

I actually went from contemporary kilts back up the line to the traditional kilts. Five of my kilts are hand sewn tanks. Have two tartan USA kilts, three tartan Sport Kilts...about seven camo kilts...and the rest plain.

I'm hooked and lovin it. Keep wondering what would have happened if I'd not gone to that Ren Faire....or the guy in the workman's hadn't gone...
