| | | New tartan waistcoat and goat hair sporran :)
Hi guys. I was lucky enough to receive 2 packages this week with some great kilt accessories.
The first was a lovely goat hair sporran. It's pretty much a one-off and was made in Ireland. I love the look of it and it will see plenty of wear 
The second was a tartan waistcoat by Janet Steward. It was a great price and I'm surprised at how great it looks! Was £25 as I supplied the tartan and buttons. I had it cut at the bias to wear with my Campbell Ancient kilt, and I think it will fit well in many occasions.
If anyone wants a bespoke waistcoat and wishes to supply materials her website is www.janetsteward.co.uk 
Sides notes - yes I had a haircut
I've been dieting for 2 weeks and have reached my limit of weight loss as my Campbell kilt would no longer fit me if I continued to loose any more weight so I'm planning to maintain it with healthy eating... although I was dying for a Guinness since New Year! So I cracked a can open today! Cheers!

That waistcoat looks absolutely fantastic. And that's one honkin' sporran too! It just reinforces in my mind how wonderful hair sporrans look for normal (i.e. non-piper and non-military) wear. Nicely done, and you look smashing!

Paul,
great waistcoat, I may have to look into one in Gordon when I'm home next week. The correct link to Janet's website is below; she spells her name with a d. http://www.janetsteward.co.uk/

That is a great looking outfit you have there, I really like the waistcoat and sporran, I'm sure they will see lots of wear.

Paul, both the sporran and the waistcoat are very good looking! Excellent finds!
