<heh heh> I thought 12 step programs were to help you kick an addiction, not sink you further.

That's a great list!

And, yes, I'm already eyeing up jacket ideas...

Hey Chrissss,

It is a tough addiction...just got in my 48th kilt in about 3 1/2 years of kilting...and that's really not accurate since I sold off a bunch more that I outgrew...

Its not too addictive though...I mean I've never drank a kilt, I've never shot a kilt I.V., I've never snorted a kilt,....I've never smoked a kilt...

There have been some serious kilt cravings...and some kilt withdrawal when I had to wear pants at work for a while after wearing kilts full time for a couple years...and I have bought more kilts than I intended to on occasion...

Its really not that bad....only have 15 Utilikilts, 18 USA Kilts, 9 hand sewn kilts...and only two leather kilts....its not that bad...really....you'll be fine...just kilt in moderation...

I'm sure you're a well controlled social kilter...

Chriss...
I have an AK (Green) and a home made (Black Denim), Thanks for the comments on SWK... I have ordered two, a Black Watch and an Irish National, Anticipation ! for my first tartan kilts. I hope you enjoy being kilted as much as I do. Hope to find employment that I can work kilted. I am new to X-Marks, but kilted a year, and loving every day of it.

Well, the 3 kilts came in early this week. Happy, happy, joy, joy!

The Amerikilt is built... well... "oddly"... But it will suffice for lounging around or working on a hot day. The pleats are only sewn down on the outer, visible edges. I think I'll try sewing down the inner pleat to see if it will make it hang better.

The SWK standard kilts, though, are just great. Excellent value buying these, for sure! And Stillwater sent me a couple kilt hangers gratis. Nice touch to impress a new customer. The Nightstalker leather sporran is such a great, practical addition. I'm glad they introduced these.

I'll have to get a couple pics as I'll certainly wear them at upcoming Xmas parties and on Christmas day. My mother should be quite happy to see the Black Stewart on me. I don't care how cold it gets over the next couple of weeks... these puppies will see some use!

This thread might be of interest to you and I believe this subject also came up before regarding Utilikilts. Without reading through the search results any further, I remember sewing down the inside pleats on Amerikilts also came up in some other threads.

Thanks for the link. That was an interesting thread and I wish it had truly been resolved one way or the other.

I hope Riverkilt sees this and can chime in with any results he found. He never says if he actually "de-stitched" one of his UK's or tried stitching up his AK.
