Man... At this price, they're practically FREE!

I hope folks are snapping these up; great opportunity to get a FB sporran for a steal.

Seems like this might fit the bill:

Fantastic shots!

Thanks so much for sharing them with us, Robert! :)

That IS a fine sporran, indeed. Inspired, if I remember correctly, by this line of sporrans: http://giftshop.scottishtartans.org/fb_sporrans.html

...of which I am a big fan....

It might be worth noting that the fellow on our right is obviously not wearing a functional baldric, as he is carrying a claymore. Perhaps that may have something to do with it?

It works! :D

I'd say, especially sans stick (and maybe bonnet... if the tails were tied, I'd say it would fly further under the radar), that gear would be great for almost any warmish weather event. In fact, I'd...

No, I think you miss Colin's point- I do believe that he may be refering to Jock's oft mentioned idea that the "traditional" way in the Highlands is to have only one kilt, and that said kilt would be...

Hahahaha... That is precisely what I was thinking, when I put together that initial post: "A traditional sort could have theoretically worn this gear 'back in the day', but it would have ammounted...

Ok, with all the talk of appropriate level of formality and such, I have this to pose:

Using the below picture as an example to comment on, how would you say that I was dressed, on the traditional...

I know this is completely OT (the jacket looks fantastic, by the way- I need one, one of these days), and I really do like that sporran and your look in general, but there's also something......

Awesome work, Scott, as always! Really a unique and handsome sporran... that wait is going to s*ck... but be well worth it in the end!

Looking excelently well turned out, good sir! And I think the "no toorie" look suits you perfectly, as well! :)

I must admit, that was my first thought, as well. Only fellow in the picture that I thought looked really sharp.

I completely agree with all this talk of making sure the kilt doesn't look like a costume... it's a shame, especially at Highland games here, to see so many folks looking... so interesting. To each...

Hey- There it is. You looked sharp, had a good time, and undoubtedly contributed to others' enjoyment of the day aswell. That's a successful outing, by any standards!

Rock on, sir! And enjoy...

You look excelent, sir; I would agree with what others (including yourself) have said about the hose choice.

My only thought, and please don't take this the wrong way, but black tie seems an...

Aye, especially with the weather that we often have to contend with here in the states (and in Canada sometimes as well, I hear), during games season, even the pullover would often times need to be...

Hah! Wonders never cease. :D

We're everywhere, buyu... even if we're sometimes hard to see. :lol:

EDIT: I thought about doing a yubiken with my right hand in that photo, in honor of Seago...

Awesome.

This would be somewhere in Scotland (not sure of the exact location/locations, just now), as well as London, and a few years in Staten Island, NY. Time range would be about 1900-1920ish.

Jeff,

I greatly appreciate the kind words and well-wishes/advice for tomorrow. That excelent advice will stick with me, and no doubt ensure that I make a proper showing. :lol:

As to the...

I don't know if this helps you out any, but my great great grandfather was very strict Plymouth Brethren, and he did not allow his boys to wear trousers until they finished secondary school; they...

Oh Lord... Seago sensei needs to see this...

:lol:

Thanks very, very much, Jock. :)



Traditional or no, if I could find the right shirt, that would certainly be something I would be interested in giving a try! And something I had never really...

Ah yes... I had not taken certain neopolitical entities into account here, but having done so, I can certainly see your point clearly.

Even so, I think I'll strive on with the current shirt...
