I'm more or less full time kilted...at home I like to wear jogging pants, but I hardly ever leave the house not wearing a kilt.
Since I value quality above quantity and have to deal with limited recourses I now carefully plan my kilt purchases.
Handmade 8 yards 16 oz knife pleated tartan kilts make me drool, but since it's not always practical to wear them (warm weather for instance) I also own 12/13 oz tartan kilts and other kilts. My wish list keeps growing, but I buy kilts at a snail pace
I've a (pretty faint) connection to the MacLarens and I now own 3 clan kilts (muted, modern and the odd 1819 variety) and one more on my wish list (weathered).
Other tartan kilts I own...Caledonia modern, Isle of Skye and the XMarks.
Non tartan kilts...a grey cotton Freedom kilt and (next week!!!) a rosemary R-Kilt.
I think it's nice to "collect" kilts from different...respected...kiltmakers.
Lochcarron, House of Edgar, BarbT, Freedom Kilts, R-Kilts so far. More kiltmakers on my wishlist...Matt Newsome, USAK, Geoffrey(Tailor), Kinloch Anderson, La Maison du Kilt ...to name a few.
8 kilts now...hopefully I can order 2 more this year (Weathered Maclaren and the Bro-Kerne)
I also "need" a red-brown sporran
