a couple new items

[FossilHunter]

I finally managed to get an official necktie for my university. It's scarlet with small "SD" spear logos on it in black and darker red.

I also have a new sporran (had it a couple months now). It is a black hunting sporran from Margaret Morisson sporranmakers. It's a thousand times better than my old pakistani sporran from a material and construction standpoint alone. Much more durable with thick leather gusseting and a suede lining whereas the old one was made of stiff, cheap leather, unlined, with a thin pleather gusset.

Lighting is bad in these photos but I have a shirt with a green gingham check on.

Yes it's a nice sporran! And nice photos.

Very Nice Sporran, I really like it.

There's a weird perspective thing with the photos that makes my kilt look longer than it is. I think the photographers was angling the phone down a bit.

I found my old cheapo sporran. I will have to do a thread comparing the two with photos as it might help some people to see just how big of a difference in quality there is between an inferior copy and the "real deal." I originally balked at the cost of Scottish sporrans but the difference really is night and day.

I got a new belt and the light is much better in this photo, which also shows off the sporran better.



Also new self tie garters!

I have a friend that collects Vera Wang handbags. She tells me of her thrill when getting each one because of the quality. I read in your words the same "sparkle" she gets in her eyes with each new item for her stable of bags.

Wait until you get a new kilt ordered and you'll understand the "Jonesing" mentioned among the many here. Good for you.

I don’t know about purse collecting but I have enjoyed developing my kilted wardrobe.

I am already jonesing for my first tank and I haven’t even ordered it yet. Saving my pennies right now.

Very nice!

I do love traditional Highland Dress.

You look sharp.

Very nice. Especially the accessory you're holding in front of the Christmas tree.
