    Smile Anybody know this guy?

    Check out this unfortunate fellow. I'm usually not to picky about how others were the kilt but wow. Pleats in front, suspenders, kilt is WAY too big for him, short socks, only one flash and it's outside the sock and in front, everything is off center, sporran at belly button. If anyone knows this guy, please help him. I'm not trying to be mean, I just hope you can help him out. It may help him sell the thing a little easier.

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

    Presumably a hand-me-down he's selling. Or he picked it up at Goodwill or something.

    Good lords!! That guy's a MESS!! But I have to say that I really like the sporran! I'd consider buying it if weren't part of the package deal.

    That sporran looks like this $75 one from Museum Replicas, http://www.museumreplicas.com/p-173-...d-tassels.aspx

    if that's true, you could make money on the deal by getting the package and re-selling the rest !

    Ya' notice he had the kilt on backwards in the photo too?

    I really like that sporran and the strap. I would tempted to buy it if I wasn't going to buy my dad a kilt for Christmas.

    The kilt looks like an acrylic one.

    Has anyone sent him a merciful note yet?

    Surely he's wearing it in this ridiculous manner as a joke of some sort. I refuse to believe that was an honest attempt at wearing the kilt. Smells like a prank to me!

    That's weird, though. I just checked the link again and the photo of him wearing it is gone.

    Even the little blurb with the um, creative spelling is gone.

    Someone must have sent him a message about it. I'd be tempted to buy this just for the sporran and re-sell the rest, but I have to pass...just bought textbooks for next semester so I'll be lucky if I have gas money to get to class for the next couple of weeks

    I'm almost tempted to buy the package just for the sporran. I can always sell the kilt but I don't know anyone that it would fit.
