Oh yes, you have it bad!

I've been working on it for over 2 years now, and I'm afraid to tally up what I've spent on building my wardrobe. It is at least what tundramanq has spent, if not more. Not only do I not want to know the actual dollar figure, I don't want my wife to know it either!

Some people feel the need to amass a large volume of kilts. Luckily, I don't have that problem. I'm fine with just a couple of well-made wool kilts to suit the various functions I would wear them to. My problem is accessories.

Right now I'm fixated on tweed jackets. I've bought three of them in the last few months (my latest one just came in today via Royal Mail).

The cool thing about all of this is that you can start off with "the basics" and then work your way up over time, selling off the stuff you don't like any more to upgrade to better stuff. This is the ticket to building a quality wardrobe. As you obtain each piece and wear it a little, you'll find yourself changing your mind, adopting new looks, and wanting to chase better quality. Eventually you'll settle on the few items that you find yourself wearing over and over, and getting rid of the rest.

That's what I keep telling myself, anyway...
