    What is this crazy addiction?

    I got a beautiful sporran from Donnie @ www.wyvernleatherworks.com about a week ago, and I'm already looking at another one. Is this a common addiction? Am I going to suffer any physical symptoms? I'm jonesing all the time about new sporrans. Does anyone else suffer from this affliction?

    Yes there are those of us who are addicted to kilts and sporrans, I got my Ferguson Britt Muskrat Glengyle sporran last week and have already been looking at another, so you are no longer alone, and you are in the right place.

    Although in an even more severe form the addiction will cause looking for another kilt just after you place the order for one!

    Yes, it's an addiction. The only known treatments are being kilted and plenty of socializing with like-minded folks. You'll find that "suffering" will turn into enjoyment in no time

    When i first started wearing kilts i thought a sporran was some kind of fungas that grows on veggies in the garden.
    Upon discovering what they really were the addiction struck like a bolt of lightning.
    Theres no escape now.Once your hooked your doomed.
