If only, Jerry. If only! No, they are occupying the two built-in wardrobes in my bedroom and two large, wheeled clothes rails (like you see in use in clothing stores) which take up all the space in my guest room. These are now absolutely full, and so I think I will be getting another rail very soon, but I am not sure where it will 'live'!
By my estimation, that is somewhere around $40,000 American worth of kilts. Congratulations on the new aquisition, it is a beautiful well made kilt.
Hmmmn! I don't think it will be quite as much as that, but I'll have to sit down and do an accurate valuation soon as I have recently been told that the Kollection is not covered by my ordinary household insurance, and should be separately insured!! There is a Strictly No Smoking restriction operating within a hundred yards of this house!!!!

Do you know if that is because of the large volume or the fact that it's a "collection" or I should say Kollection

Ham,
Fabulous kilt! To paraphrase the charactor Sailor from the movie Wild at Heart :
"That snake skin kilt symbolizes your individuality and belief in personal freedom!"

I believe it is because it is classified as a Kollection - although (almost) everything in it is my everyday clothing. Some of the items are of individual high monetary value, so that probably makes a difference too.
