    Mil kilts/sporrans in Canada

    Chanced across this supplier through Ebay

    http://www.odakim.net/products.php?cat=19

    Prices for hair sporrans seem very reasonable if condition is as described

    Thanks for the link! I visited that store a number of times when I lived in Calgary, I didn't know they had a website. They quite often had old military kilts and accessories for sale.

    Sounds interesting. Hope we can get a few more reviews in here.

    Keep in mind the Canadian DND sporrans are decorative only... no pouch.

    Not to be negative, but their "Seaforth Hilander" kilt is a Hunting Stewart - wrong tartan, wrong regiment.
    I am easily moved for sympathy for dogs, far more so than for humans, because dogs do not understand. There is no way to explain that you will return, that the vet will make it all better, that they cannot go shooting today because that is not what today is about. They cannot work out that their misery is finite and will some time end, and so their misery is magnified.

    I think horsehair sporrans generally are. That's why you'll frequently see pipers in bands who wear them also wearing some kind of pouch on the waist belt - gotta put your car keys somewhere.

    Of course, there are sporrans that nominally open, but you'd be lucky to fit a folded dollar bill in them. Me, I need some room for all my cra... stuff.
