    If only, Jerry. If only! No, they are occupying the two built-in wardrobes in my bedroom and two large, wheeled clothes rails (like you see in use in clothing stores) which take up all the space in my guest room. These are now absolutely full, and so I think I will be getting another rail very soon, but I am not sure where it will 'live'!

    By my estimation, that is somewhere around $40,000 American worth of kilts. Congratulations on the new aquisition, it is a beautiful well made kilt.
    Hmmmn! I don't think it will be quite as much as that, but I'll have to sit down and do an accurate valuation soon as I have recently been told that the Kollection is not covered by my ordinary household insurance, and should be separately insured!! There is a Strictly No Smoking restriction operating within a hundred yards of this house!!!!

    Do you know if that is because of the large volume or the fact that it's a "collection" or I should say Kollection

    That part is easy.....you just need a larger home. After all, the Kollection must have unlimited room to grow!

    You do the pictures so well that if I owned a kilt company I would hire you to show off my products in the catalog.

    I recently received my number 10 so I am in awe of your kilts. That will be the last one for quite some time as I must attend to my finances. :rolleyes:

    Let us know when you get the house with the extra "Kilt Rooms"

    ...with a bolo tie with a the snake head in lucite & real rattlesnake rattlers at the string ends! (Yeah, we got those out here...)

    Great looking kilt, Hamish!!!

    Maybe it's bein' a product of the American West (we've got plenty o' rattlers around these parts), but I've always loved the look of snakeskin. I've got snakeskin boots, belt, a snakeskin print shirt & even had fake snakeskin pants way back when. Never thought anyone could turn out a snakeskin kilt, though. As Robertson would say, "Guid on ya!"

    Should be fun wearin' that & seein' folks reaction!

    And did you notice how the stitch pattern in the hosen reflected the pattern on the skin?

    What a guy. (US sense, that is, nothing Fawkish about Hamish)
