    Let's see.... Started with a Sportkilt... Bought a second, then got one of their hiking kilts. Then got a USA Kilt Casual... Fell in love with it, and ended up with 2 more. Now waiting on my 7th kilt and first tank.

    I started out with an acrylic two-fer from ebay, came with an inexpensive belt. One each Black Watch "8 yd." and Royal Stewart "5 yd.". Then a couple of sportkilts, and then fabric, and waaay too much time trying to make a decent kilt (should have bought the book FIRST). Then I found this place.

    Now I have a collection. Three Matt Newsome box pleats, and a Barb Tewksbury 8 yard. I never wear the first ones I got any more, and most of the "kilt like objects" that I made see service only as work wear in the shop.

    I'd like to find a work kilt that suited me that I could just buy, rather than make. But I am still looking. I do not want big cargo pockets that can catch hot stuff, nor can synthetic blend fabrics tolerate same. I am thinking one of Robert's hemp R-Kilts might work though $300 for something that is risked near the forge and power hammer seems a bit, well, nervy, somehow.

    Like Ron I was definitely a no kilts guy when I was younger. I often look back at my old photos of events where there were lots of other guys in kilts but I was the guy in trousers. First tried a kilt when I was about 40 but still never wore a kilt much over the next ten years until January 2003 when a leg injury had me on crutches and needing to wear a kilt to work as I could not get trousers on. Only then did I begin to wear kilts regularly. I started with tartans but went on to experiment with non trad. kilts in the past couple of years. I currently have 34 kilts and wear a kilt almost daily. Hey it keeps a guy young at heart and fertile.
