I completely understand this phenomenon of which you all speak. I, too, have lately found myself in front of the mirror trying on different combinations. Where I once would walk past a men's clothing store with out notice, I now frequently find myself browsing for items that would wear well with the kilt. Just today I discarded a fine cigar only half way through it's practical life to browse. This is only half of the obsession however.

Because I have become so conserned about my appearance I have also made a commitment to shed the extra weigh I put on over the last couple of years. Being so serious about looking sharp while kilted I have actually been sticking to my routine. Of course kilted hikes are a part of the routine, so it isn't too difficult to enjoy. Tomorrow I might leave the kilt hung in the closet however, wear an old pair of my rugby shorts, and jog up the hill rather than walk.
