If only, Jerry. If only!

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"

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)
