    Hey Padre, I'm with Kid Cossack,

    Who'd have EVER thought that vertical stripe shirts would go with tartans! Way to push the edge of the envelope. Freedom and creativity rule the kilt world.

    As far as the sporran, NEVER EVER buy a sporran from a seller who does not give the sporran measurements. Even some of the well know sporran suppliers think we don't need to know the size of the product we're buying (still no clue why they cling to that notion) and as a result I've ordered up some sporrans I couldn't get my hand into.

    Don't buy sporrans without knowing the measurements. Insist!

    And remember, there's a great search engine on this board that can bring you lots of wisdom to help you with your purchasing decisions...some of the flashy websites offer junk and heartbreak. Some of the low key folks are where you'll find the value.

    Consider starting to save for a hand sewn kilt in your clan tartan. You deserve to strut your clan tartan in a tank.

    But always remember: You can have any two (or less) of price, quality, or service. Post that little reminder near your credit card and heed it when shopping.
