    Bargain Job lot but is it quality?

    Purchased this on EBay over the weekend and paid very little for it as the buyer had a very low buy it now price.
    Pretty much complete including 2 jackets, kilt, sporran, 3 pairs of socks, shoes, sgian-dubh, flashes and belt.
    Seller stated everything purchased in Perth at the cost of £1000 which is believable if it's quality highland wear but no idea how long ago that would have been.
    Difficult to determine quality or tat from a few images on EBay and obviously I haven't received it yet...
    Any forum members with a good eye for this sort of thing can tell me if my £80 was worth it?

    With that much kit, it is hardly possible that you couldn't get 80 GPB out of your investment. It is hard to tell without seeing the tags on the the jackets and kilt, but the sporran looks to be a quality seal skin dress sporran. That and the brogues are surely worth 80 quid; so everything else in gravy.

    A good purchase, in my opinion.

    Bargin

    If it's from Perth, chances are that the sporran could have been made by Margaret Morrison. they've been going for the last 20 years or so and are just on the edge of Perth. I want to say its golden seal skin, going by the colour and pattern. Brogues are probably going to be from Thistle shoes. No way to really tell until you have a look for some labels.

    Great deal for 80GBP.

    The Seal sporran is worth that alone.
