Hi McG,
Yes, I do collect kilts - but only those that have been tailored for me and others that I have bought off-the-peg in my size. All my kilts I bought to wear, not just to keep for the sake of collecting another kilt! When I pop my clogs (nothing scheduled yet!), the entire kollection of kilts, jackets, accessories, etc. will be used to form the basis of an official Kilt Museum in Edinburgh.
Ma questions are
- When dae ye think ye wull hae a garage sale?
- Wull ye let me ken first?
LOL - there will be no garage sales!
- Whit size is yer wardrobe?
The kilts hang on three x 6ft wheeled garment rails and in a 5ft wardrobe in my guest room, and in my room all my jackets and doublets together with more kilts occupy two x 5ft wardrobes. A four drawer chest of drawers is home to my kilt hose, sporrans, sgian dubhs and flashes.
- How dae ye pick whit yin tae wear, to many favourites?
Sure, I have my favourites (but I am not naming them). What I choose to wear depends upon my mood, where I am going, what I am doing - and always, the suitability to the occasion!
