    Just won a kilt and sporran on EBay

    Just got word that I had the winning bid (pics below). Turpin tells me it's Rose Hunting. It apparently has never been used (basting still intact) and comes with a fur sporran and belt. No word on the weight, but it's wool is from Pringle Mills of Inverness and is labeled Made in Scotland.

    This shows straps and pleating


    Basting is intact


    Formal sporran looks good. Just hope it's not Acryli-Beast


    I've spent the last four days pretending I wasn't jonesing for it. Now I'm out of the closet - I can't wait till it gets here.

    True, but I suspect since it's already traveled from Scotland to the US, it's probably not seal.

    It looks suspiciously like acrylibeast. The kilt looks great, though.

    Very nice deal.
    And I actually really like that sporran, whatever it's made of.

    Nice kilt, and whatever the sporran is made from, it looks really nice.

    We need pcitures of you in it now.
