    The addiction continues...

    So after owning a kilt for a couple of weeks, I have to say that I am addicted. It's like a disease. In the next two weeks, I will be ordering another two kilts. The first one I purchased was an Alphakilt, the next two will be a USAKilt Casual in Thomson Grey and an Original Sport Kilt in Forbes. I figure this will give me a wider range of types as well. The Sport Kilt will be more for weekends and lounging around the house, the other two will be worn more at work.

    Damn these things are comfortable!

    I think that it is a normal response to a natural feeling.

    After over ten years it hasn't got any better. The addiction continues or even grows.

    It's been ONLY 4 months, and I've only missed 2 of the steps AND joined TWO Clan Societies... Clan Claus and Clan Wallace. LIFE MEMBER of both. Does that mean I'm addicted ???

    Three kilts in thirty days here. Let me know if you find a support group (besides XMTS members, they are enablers of the disease.)
