Your evolution in the kilt

[macwilkin]

I just had a thought. My first kilt was a Sportkilt, I first wore it casualy with a t-shirt, and boots. It looked fine. Then i dressed it up and wore it with a starched shirt bow tie, knee sox, flashes. and waist coat. And people said looked great.
Then I bought a more traditional cut, 3 buckle, 6 yard kilt.
I dress it up, and dress it down. and it looks great. Now, i would never go out in the Sportkilt. So as i look for a (Tank) and am researching all that goes with that traditional type. I worry, will i become a kilt snob? in other words. when all i had was a sport kilt, and i dressed it up, I felt like a million bucks. As soon as it was upgraded it's good looks were reduced in my mind. Anyone have a similar "evolution" Has your casual kilt become just an occupant in your closet? Bottom line: Are you a kilt Snob?

I don't know whether to take offence at the "kilt snob" reference, or to proudly say that I am one! :mrgreen:

In all serious, though, I suppose I am one, though I do not own a "casual" kilt, and probably never will.

Cheers,

)... Bottom line: Are you a kilt Snob?

Nooo.... I would describe it along the lines of being a Kilt Illuminati.

I started with the 16oz 8 yard fully traditional kilt and from there dabbled from time to time in lighter and less traditional kilts. Although I would never consider spending my hard earned dollars on a Sportkilt. Thay may be cheap but from what I've seen, they are false economy. To me, that's not snobbish... that's just being dollar wise.
