Flash Storage Ideas Please

[Hamish]

I do the same Bob ....Where's Hamish when you need him

I am here, David. Never fear!

First of all: Bob. What on earth is a "zip-loc" bag?

As for storage, I have a two-drawer storage unit with a base area of about 14" x 14" and I lay the flashes c/w elastic garters flat in those drawers. Actually, the two drawers are now getting rather overcrowded (I currently have 21 pairs of flashes) and I could do with an up-grade to three drawers!

Taking the question a stage further: how does everyone else store their sporrans? I have a three-drawer bedside cabinet in which I keep mine. I wrap the sporran straps around each sporran and lay them on their backs in the drawers, two sporrans deep, but this unit is also becoming very much overcrowded and I'll soon need an up-grade there too!

Clear, plastic bags of various sizes with recloseable tops: http://www.ziploc.com/

As far as an upgrade goes, maybe you can call in the Changing Room people to help.


A mailing tube might also work. They come in various diameters and lengths.

For the sporrans, hang'em in the closet on the bar...

Some great ideas, thanks...wish I had more room in my place.

I hang my sporrans from their sporran straps from a clothes tree...but then I just have the two Freelanders so far...

How about a coupon organiser for flashes.

you should be able to find these at the dollar store or even the grocery store maybe. I don't think I'd pay $4.00 for one

I keep a lot of misc kilt stuff in shoeboxes. You can store flashes around the hook of your kilt hanger. Good way to keep matching kilts and flashes together.

Thanks for that, John. In fact, that is what I used to do when I had only a couple of sporrans. Now, I barely have space to hang the kilts let alone any sporrans!

Maybe somewhere in the World there's one of those closet arranging consultants that specializes in closet design for kilt addicts....or have I discoverd another nitch market??

Everyone should try hitting up their wealthy friends (or whisky sales representatives) for the boxes in which fancy whisky is stored. The wife and I were at a whisky tasting during the Estes Park highland festival (I highly recommend this festival) and I convinced the sales rep that they didnt need the empty box any longer.
I obtained the box for the 30yr Glenfidditch which was made of dovetailed wood and it holds the flashes, sporran (a freelander), sgian dubh and kilt pin quite nicely. In my closet, all i have to do is look for the whisky box and I ahve all my accesories ready!
