    I currently have one - a traditional 8 yard (13 oz) in the Montgomery Modern tartan. I'm planning on making an X Marks kilt fairly soon, but haven't decided on the material yet.

    I've checked three, because I've paid for three, however, my 8yrd, 16oz Hunting Mackintosh is still a work in progress. Due in just 30 more days. Oh boy!

    I owned 4 but I ordered on Thursday last week a Stillwater Saffron,that took 3 days to get to my door.(recieved it on monday) Heavy Weight, and another kilt from ebay. So that makes 6. That does not include my Utilkilt that i gave to my nephew, or the cheap one that i use as a dust rag. I also have 2 that i no longer fit in....So I am now down to 4......

    Well, I gave one away to a friend as it was too big, but have 5, 1UKOriginal , 2 SWK Economy Irish National and a Black Stewart, My first Shadow plaid from Scotland and my new Irish American Tartan. All 5 yd. as I live in Florida and would evaporate under an 8 yard kilt.

    Number of Kilts

    Well I have 6 Kilts and I am headed to Edinburgh March 24th to pick up my 7th, but I need this many since it is the only garment I wear, at least for the last three years...

    I feel like a kilt wimp here. My three are all tartans - a handsewn tank, a SWK economy and an SWK standard. I hope to order an Irish National this year but it won't be until summer. Within the next two years I will order another tank.

    I haven't really counted. Let's see

    2 tanks from Alexis Malcolm (heavyweight US Army, lightweight MacIan)
    1 tank from Kathy Lare (Xmarks)
    1 tank from Kiltstore (Welsh Edwards)
    1 box-pleated from Matt (German national)
    1 Pittsburgh Kilt (desert camo)
    4 Stillwater standards
    1 Amerikilt
    1 Utilikilt
    1 Buzz Kidder canvas kilt

    OK, that makes 13, not counting historical kilts (great kilts and such). On no, 13, that's unlucky. I guess I need to order another.

    I find I mainly wear one of my kilts from Alexis, except for occasions when I want a specific tartan. I hardly ever wear the Amerikilt or the Utilikilt, and the Stillwaters and Buzz Kidder don't see much more use. I guess I'm a traditionalist and like the tartans.
