I'm pretty much with Downunder on this...the Argyll is a definite yes (much like you see in my Avatar pic)! The Balmoral looks fine too, IMHO...but I would not pair a 5 button with a regulation...

I apologize for any repeats in advance.

Alright, okay...I guess I'll finally get around to posting on this thread!

My first sporran (technically my second that I bought) is a one of a kind from Skye Highland Outfitters made by Josh...

I didn't even notice the error...need to pay more attention to detail, I guess! Good catch David!

The latin motto is the Regimental motto of the Royal Regiment of Scotland (and I'd wager a couple of others, as well...I know that the 1st Regiment of Foot used the same motto during the 18th...

Love the brown leathers...especially the gloves. Gloves are something that you don't see much worn anymore (except of course in the North during the winter...but many opt for big thick nylon and...

What I find amazing is that this thread has reached 11 pages (and I admit I only read pages 1 and 2 and then skipped right to the end)...when I have had several kilt related posts barely clear 10 or...

Plain, yes...but preferable to 99% of the sporrans that you can buy on the commercial market these days! Looks great! I also love the hair sporran pic you posted.

Michael...you too can own one: Pirate Buckle

So glad to hear from you Travis...and as I said...VERY VERY VERY happy that your daughter is physically well. Bravo to her for her quick reactions and keeping her head!

The emotional...

I read on FB that Travis Butterworth's daughter (most of you know him as Nighthawk) was present in the theater. Thankfully, she got out unscathed except for a face full of teargas! Sympathies for...

Okay...but has someone complained about or reported this thread?? I think you're being a bit overbearing in enforcing a "pet peeve" rule.

Personally, I think Rule #12 is a crock of s@#$. I...

...Disagree CC! The 42d, during the American Revolution, wore BLUE facings (the color worn by all "Royal" regiments) and the officers wore gold braid . These facings, at least in my eyes, are...

Wonderful insights Jock. In reference to the particular excerpt above, I can very well appreciate your point. This is the way it is to this day still in the remote areas of Afghanistan...some...

David...Note that the TASSLES on those hunting sporrans are raised and separate from the face and then tacked down with stitches at the bottom...unlike modern hunter sporrans that typically only have...

Well of course! With such limited options to choose from in the commercial market and fewer and fewer people able to AFFORD to commission a unique piece (or not prizing the kilt as an essential part...

I guess I had noticed the absence of daywear sporrans in the catalogue...but it didn't register that a page was missing. WOW...what a great selection. I particularly LOVE the two brass cantled...

Your last sentence is all that matters! Please don't misread my previous comments as disparaging...they weren't intended to be at all! It's a beautiful kilt...and because it's from Rocky, I know...

I'd reckon he carries similar items to most any other guy...but maybe that's naive thinking.

wow...I've never seen Old Sett in a sett that small? Is that because it's PV? I personally prefer the larger version...but to each their own. Your kilt looks very nice!

Actually, Peter, if it was painted in 1780 that would be DURING the American Revolution that started in 1774/5 (depending on whether you go with Lexington Green or Bunker Hill) and didn't end until...

I tried multi-quoting, but it doesn't seem to be working right for some reason...so here goes.

To Gary Meakin: I think your question about the kilt pin is a very good one. It almost seems to...

So are we all in agreement that this is a American Revolutionary War-era painting...and that it is NOT a French and Indian/7 Years War painting? Coat style (cuffs and lapels, specifically) is...

What are you talking about...in any of these three posts...but especially this post? I can't follow what you are trying to say?

Thinking I might need to change my residency to PA! That is a beautiful tartan!
