    Cilts/Kilts can change you ...

    be warned ,,, my addiction to cilts a few years ago was over powering and completely change me ... the wife even had to put chains on me to stop me getting at my credit card and buying more.


    It has taken a few years to get back to some form of normailty.
    So ..be warned ... cilts/kilts can change you life if you over do it

    Oohh, the feared kilt addiction, I got it big time. I also have the kilt making addiction, so if it goes too long between every kiltmaking project I'm getting abstinence pains and heavy mood swings .

    This is the only sporran that I have and I have had it now for more than 10 years. It is hand made from Janet Eagleton MBE & Son Sporranmakers
    Its certainly a 'Tardis' when wishing to pile in whatever you want

    My kilt addiction has only gotten stronger with time. I just ordered my first tank, clan, tailored kilt the other day as well as my first argyll jacket and vest. i keep hoping the next fix will do it for me but no! AAAAHHHHhhhhhhhh well just have to get a second job to support my habit. Good luck with the chains.
    God bless the kilted everywhere and all who see them!

    The kilt! It gets in your blood and cannae be removed through medicine or magic.

    That is a scary thought. How did you harvest the leather from the Sporranmakers, and keep them happy enough to make you the sporran? Also, how many sporranmakers did you need to harvest from?

    Derek, you're looking quite gruesome there! Perhaps a new tank would improve your visage... if only the wise wife would let you out of your chains
