    This was at the National WWII Museum in New Orleans. The Veteran is one of the "Terrible Terrells", really neat story. So does the sporran still look small?

    P.S. I made that kilt too and I don't much like "Military" Box pleats any more
    Really good work. What are the sporran's dimensions? It looks smaller than the standard civilian sporran to my eye but the dimensions would help. There's also the possibility that the sculptor made it a little too small.

    In any case, it's no big deal. I like my kilt with military box pleats but I don't like sitting while wearing it.

    The Sporran (I made) is 6.5" (inches) wide by 7" tall. The sculptor may have got it wrong but what about the approximate size of the original?

    The box pleats come unpressed and loose their crispness way to easily. Other than that it is kind of fun to have an "odd" kilt.

    I really appreciate all this help.

    Sincerely,
