No, for real. I was looking at getting a bear fur sporran, don't think the ones at the STM have silver cantles, to go with a Bear Tartan kilt. I was trying to design a cantle with a Bear paw and pine forest motif, and I had located bear and bear paw buttons for a black evening wear jacket I had been planning to retailor to an argyle cut. And I have a small silver bear paw pin that I was going to attach to a silver disk for a cap badge, or kilt pin.

Then I thought that might be too much motif and started thinking about a full mask skunk sporran.

But now, I think it was all too much thinking and too much trying.

From the headline it sounds like the man who was killed was tranqualized by the researchers. Pretty stupid thing to do in bear country.

I can see where the headline could give that impression, but I also don't think we should make light of someone's death.

Craigie use to have bear sporrans, with the paw & claws as the flap. Looking at their website I don't see bear listed anymore. They also use to have a skunk sporran with a bear paw flap. That was striking & very different.

A bear sporran with silver cantle would look very nice Ted

Just to make sure you are aware the "Bear Tartan" is associated with gentelmen who enjoy the company of other gents who are large and hairsuit.

I appologize if you are already aware of this but I don't want you to have any unwelcome attention in your kilt.

No apology necessary.

I manage a social group here on XMTS for the LGBT related Bear Tartan.
I am also aware that there are people with the last name "Bear," and that calling oneself a "Bear" or using bear totem does not mean that you are or want to be associated with the LGBT Bear tartan. I don't know what to do about this other than point out, from time to time, the Bear Tartan is LGBT related.

I understand the LGBT related Bear community is associated with gentlemen "large and hairsuit"... Um, don't worry about it...

* It looks like MacMillan of Rathdown was who brought it up first in this thread, just for the record.
It really isn't the subject of the thread, and I'm sorry for having made an issue of it.

This is so far off the thread topic as to be indictable, but last Sunday I caught quite a funny sequence on The Cleveland Show (Fox) which involved a real (cartoon) bear mistakenly visiting some sort of bear bar in NYC...?

Well, since this thread has a history undertone, which I probably partly caused as well , I will point out that "my people" have a history too, of which I try to keep myself aware. That's all I'm going to say...

This thread does get a wee bit sideways at times, doesn't it?
That's okay Ted, it's been entertaining, despite the original subject
