Well, I got good and bad things today.
The bad news is that the tartan for my kilt is on back order so I won't get the kilt until September. (At least they called to let me know and give me a choice.)
The good news is that I ordered a bespoke Indie Denim kilt from Unionkilts. (Richard was nice enough to let me know they can have one made with a shorter drop length for me.)
And my new sporran arrived.

Now, I will admit, I ordered it on Ebay so I wasn't expecting fantastic quality.
But I got fantastic quality.
It looks and feels great, is sturdy, well made and spacious.
Soft but firm with a proper cantle and not one of these tin ones that fall off really easily.

I am more than thrilled with it. And there is a plain circle at the top of the cantle where I can either fit a clan crest or have something engraved.



And, to top it off, at a local kiltstore's sale I managed to find a 6 yard, 13/14 oz tweed kilt (Tweed made by Morrisons Tweed and wool mill) for 30 pounds. (About 60 U.S Dollars)
AND a 7 yard, 11oz navy blue solid coloured kilt for 15 punds!!!
Both of these are really great quality. I just need to get them altered a little to fit me, but otherwise they are perfect.
So as soon as they are ready I will have pictures.

Now if I can find a tweed coat that matches the kilt to convert...
