Setting up false expectations

[bear]

We could use any number of comparisons.
Remember your first car? Mine was a 1969 $425, 4 banger, Toyota Sprinter. I really did buy it from a little, old lady who used it for shopping. Lasted me 4 years before it finally died.
I still don't have my 1958 'Vette. One day.

I have 3 kilts that get any wear at all. All MacDonald tartan. None of them is a wool tank, though one is a pv tank. I made 'em all but the wool, 4 yard, double box pleated, ex-military kilt, which I altered to fit myself.
3 kilts is enough for me. With one tartan, I don't need to make a bunch of different flashes, or accessorize for different coloured tartans. It's easy and I don't feel the need for more kilts just for the sake of having more kilts.
Now, if I could just simplify my shoe selection as easily as I simplified my kilt selection!

i'm at work at the moment, and haven't been able to read the whole thread, but i'd like to throw in my 2 cents.

as a newbie here, i have found it a little intimidating some of the collections and pictures i've seen. but at the same time, those are coming from the kilted elders and nobleman of the forum, so i assume they are the more 'experienced' kilters here.

at the moment i have only 1 kilt, a dress sporran, 2 hose, and a cheap day sporran and kilt pin that arrived today. i'll be waiting for rest of my PC for a wedding for another 20 days or so (the wait is murder).

in kilts as in all things, its not about having what you want, it's about wanting what you have.
