I think I'm out of control

[davedove]

I am used to Utilikilts. They are easy to put on, they have some substance to them, and they are comfortable.

I bought the Stillwater Standard Nightstalker and these are the things I didn't like:

1. Fabric feels rough
2. Fabric feels lightweight
3. Kind of weird putting it on but the various straps are standard on many kilts
4. I need a sporran which I knew beforehand but just getting "suited up" with all the straps and chains and whatever seems like such an ordeal!

I don't know - it might just take some getting used to. It is hanging in the closet and I just don't know what to think. I much prefer the heavier poly/cotton blends but that's just me.

Traditional style straps do take a little getting used to and do require a bit more time, but I much prefer the straps. For one thing, they are much more forgiving of changes in waist size. For instance, if you eat a bit too much at a meal, you can just loosen the straps one notch. You can't do that with snaps.

I'm with Dave on this one. I can't wear my two Utilikilts right now because I've lost a little weight and even with a belt I have to keep hiking them up. On my other kilts I can just tighten the straps (or velcro) and off I go.

This reminds of one of the great things about kilts- there's a style for everyone. My first kilt was a Workmans UK and I love it. But, I personaly prefer the traditional fit over the on the hip UKs. Don't worry about it, you'll find a style you like.

Okay....well....I wore my new Utilikilts Mocker to church today and I simply LOVE it! If this is what "getting dressed up" is all about then I want to get dressed up every day!

So....I just got on the web and ordered three more so I will have all four colors.

So I will have:

4 UK Mockers
3 UK Originals
1 Union Kilts Denim
1 Amerikilts kahki

.....and a partridge in a pear tree.....

Now....this is it! No more kilts! Honest!

Before I met you guys I was a mild mannered computer guru.

Now I have this problem where I can't stop ordering kilts. :confused:

I have one Utilikilt original I love and one StillWater kilt that I'm not crazy about.

Then I ordered two more UK originals and one Mocker.

Then last night I ordered a denim Union kilt.

Now this morning I ordered an Amerikilt.

When does this craziness end? It's almost like I"m stuck in some sort of kilt ordering loop.

Last night I was going to bed and I said, "Well, before I go to bed, I MUST order a kilt!"

Then this morning I said, "Well, it's a new day - time to order a kilt!"

I'm going to end up with more kilts than I have pants. I'll have all these kilts hanging in my closet and I'm going to ask myself what in the world did you do?

Well....now that I have two kilts and a whopping 5 more on order I must stop. This is it....no more kilts this year.

Welcome to The Twilight Zone, where every kilts possesses you and makes you want more.

I have my eye on a UK corduroy, too. I've just been staying away from kilts that don't offer much adjustment. I can fluctuate between 34" and 36".

I now, have four kilts...and the number's growing. I don't want to buy many kilts from one kilt-maker, to find that I don't like them after a short time. I have two SKs, a Burnetts & Struth and a soon-to-be-picked-up SWK wool. There isn't a good selection of tartans available, if you have clan connections, so I too, am looking toward non-tartan kilts for future purchases. MacIntosh/Currie
