An Inventory of the Kollection

[Hamish]

Riverkilt,

What gets me is the 25 year gap between the first kilt and the second kilt which precipitated the kiltsplosion.

That was because until about the time I took early retirement, I had considered the kilt to be a garment to be worn only for my Scottish Country Dance and Highland Dance activities - something like a costume, but I would NEVER EVER describe the kilt as such!! Once retired and freed from the necessity of wearing a pinstripe suit for work, the advantanges of daily kilt wearing began to 'grab' me ........ and the transformation took off.

Take care,
Ham.

From the first pic in his online gallery, it looks like he used to be a dancer? The man never ceases to amaze

I have added the link to Hamish's site as a sticky thread.

Ron!

Where on Earth did you find that inventory? Well done! I remember compiling it but, with changes of computer and technical problems, I lost it. I have maintained a rather more detailed inventory on this PC but am not savvy enough to be able to transfer it from a printed paper version to something I can post - or even include in my own comprehensive website (which is still 'work in progress'!).

Take care,
Ham.

Well, some years back when you posted the then current list of the Kollection I copied it. Figured it would be a good reference. When Steve posted the new forums I remembered I might have it somewhere. Found it - and posted.

Then just checked "All threads started by Hamish" and found the updates that I did.

Recognize its pretty choppy and may have some glitches, but figured it would help folks, particularly the newer rabble, realize what a treasure the Kollection is.

What I particularly enjoy is that the Kollection reaches into all the niches' of kilting. The functional working man's kilt beside the pin stripe kilt suit beside the rainbow kilt and the team colors kilt.

Also really like the sub collection of the Gaelic tartans.

And, the Kollection list is working...with all the talk of leather RKilts I'm thinking..."What color next?"

My wife and I joke each month as we pay the bills, that if we ever win the lottery we will xxxxxx. That list grows all the time, but I think I will add to own as many kilts as makes me happy. WOW! what a collection.

As an aside I knew Celtic FC had their own tartan, but I had never seen that striped Celtic Kilt before. Any man wearing that to Ibrox Stadium definitely lives without fear.

Thanks for the pics, and kilt info.

I have been slowly lingering over the inventory. It is fantastic! Thank you Hamish for making it available, and thank you Steve for posting it.
