The only way a kilt is going to be of interest to the Bankruptcy folks is if it is collectable. Despite the fact that many of us basically 'collect' kilts, having way more than is considered reasonable, the simple fact is that we are collecting that which is not collectable. Our kilts, except for possibly a few of Ham's, are all considered non-durable items of clothing which hold no real value beyond what they'd bring at a garage sale.

Sooooo, about the only way your wildly out of control kilt addiction is going to impact on a bankruptcy is for your lawyer to discover it, be suffering from the same addiction and barter his fees with you. I recommend you only tell him how many kilts you have if he asks you specifically ... don't go a braggin'.

Otherwise, believe it or not, the Bankruptcy Court doesn't want your clothes, food, family jewels (both kinds), collection of seady VCR tapes or even you electronics and furniture ... they will take your guns, though, because guns, like other collectables that increase in value over time, can and will be sold for the purpose of reducing your debts. You can keep your ammo, ironically.

So spend freely on your kilts, bretheren, and know that even when all else is lost the more kilts you have the bigger tent you can build down by the river. Just keep one to wear so that you will ever be able to .....

KILT ON!!
