    Looks great. I love my nightstalker. And where did you get the sporran strap? I like it. Much nicer than the chain I have.

    Thanks for all the compliments, I got them all day too - from girls and guys!

    Yes, it's a Freelander, on its virgin outing.

    The belt is a standard Sam Brown Duty Belt. I got it for around $30 at the local uniform supply shop, but you can get them on line. They are available in brown, but you'll have to look for them, black is the most common color.

    I made the sporran strap. It's kind of hard to describe. It's got a double twist closest to the sporran, but then has a mystery braid from there to up past the hips. I made the size adjustable by joining it in back with an overlap and some sort of screw-in rivets, instead of using a buckle. ...and tonight I added a couple of small diamond shaped conchos in front, between the two differently braided portions. I'll have to post a picture.

    I'm thinking about changing out the horn pieces on the Freelander to some kind of antiqued silver medalion and beads, but I'll have to find the perfect pieces to do it with; the pieces it came with are nicely understated, I don't want to change that.

    I reckon you got the look about right, nice kilt and good to see it in proper daylight aswell , but I don't like the socks, sorry not for me.
    It's just not fair that the sun is shinning there, and it cold over here ! Enjoy.

    Like I said earlier, the socks are a much darker gray than they look. the sun is really bringing out the white in them!

    BTW, here's a picture of the next day; I was much more casual. (...and I had faded black socks, pushed down to the same boots)



    ...and here's a better picture of the sporran strap.

    Er, don't know if you know but you posted a fine picture of a sporran strap,
    but no offence intended, short socks are not for me but if it does it for you then we're all happy.
    The picture when I clicked on the link showed you but no socks, oh well. but I see your a chick magnet !!
    My best.

    You look very very smart, I like the tartan too, and the shoes look nice.
    All round a smart look that would do hamish proud!
