How much $$

**NancyMan** · 24th April 09, 09:30 PM

My post count is pretty low but I've been kilted full time for four years now. Without doing the math I can guarantee I've spent $2500 per year on kilts and accessories. Most of my 40 kilts cost between one and two hundred dollars, a few were three hundred. Then there are the kilt jackets, waistcoats, ties, hose, sporrans, sgian dubhs, kilt pins, belts and hats. I have an extensive wardrobe and use it well, rarely wearing the same ensemble twice. Dressing well is an art that I practice every day.

How do you put a price on art?

Sure this forum has contributed to get me buy more kilts and accessories. I haven’t calculated how much I’ve spend on the stuff and if I one day did I wouldn’t tell my wife.
I do hope, however, that the advertisers are aware of the market growth created here and the potential.

Great responses one and all...

I am also a guitarist. I had found a forum a few years ago. I started with one guitar that I had for 11 years. Fast forward 3 years, I now own 20 or so, from $100 cheapies to $1100 Les Pauls and everythign in between...

I kind of hope that this doesn't follow the same route.... but I have a feeling it will

I think thats best left between a man and his kilt maker...

Great Question...been a while for me, but I know I was already deep into kilts and active on other kilt boards when Steve Ashton of Freedom Kilts clued me in about X Marks. Know I had at least two Freedom Kilts, three AmeriKilts, two SportKilts, three Pittsburgh Kilts when I got here and my first hand sewn tank from Kathy Lare arrived a month after I joined here....and a lot more with the accessories. So, I was in deep!

I am sorry, but as I am a happily married man and intend to stay that way, that information can never be put into writing...

I am of little help to the kilt attire trade. As far as I can recall, I don't think I have bought any new kilt attire since 1995.Hose maybe,but then I buy those for going with my shooting attire.
