    New Kilt & Rabbit Fur Sporran

    Wow! These arrived quickly. I bought this budget Royal Stewart kilt and Rabbit Fur Sporran on e-bay on Tuesday night and they arrived this morning.

    The sporran came complete with chain and strap. These are in a very generous length - would suit some of our more rotund members - and I had to shorten the chain a good eight inches to get the sporran to hang right on me.

    A view of the pleats. The kilt is made by Mercy Clothing and I already own the same kilt in black.
    The lightweight pleats give the game away that this is a cheap polycotton kilt.
    A low budget kilt for leisure wear.
    The whole outfit, kilt, pin, sporran and chain cost £43 including carriage (approx $80 US).

    Nice. How much room do you have in that sporran?

    If this is the men's department, where are the kilts?

    Quite a generous sized sporran - plenty of room for a wallet, keys, handkerchiefs etc, with full height sides and a good stud fastening. Sitting here at the computer, I'm finding the leather on the sporran is quite hard, although it may soften with wear. I'm keeping the sporran on for now as I'm taking my wife into town shortly but once we get back home, I'll probably remove the sporran for comfort around the house. Here is the sporran and chain.

    Also available from the same seller in black, grey or white rabbit fur, and also available with cantle if you need an evening wear sporran.
    Edited to add:- If you are looking at this seller's kilts I should add that mine is NOT the "value classic" kilt which he sells for £14.99 - I can't speak to the wearability of that item. Mine is from his Budget Kilt range which starts at £19.99 or Buy-it-Now at £24.99. As the sole bidder I got this one at the starting price.

    You really pull off the red look quite well. Not every guy can do that.

    Verra nice look, the kilt really does look good no matter what it is made from. For daywear, nothing is wrong with it.

    That doesn't look bad at all.
