Kilted gifts from the non kilted

[Shanntarra]

My mother wants to get my rogue something nice to wear with his kilt. I was thinking a casual wear basic sporan. I love my rogue but the boy needs a proper sporan not put it in my purse.

Is there a site you would recomend that I can just send her to that she could easily pick something and rarely go wrong?

Also my rogue LOVES T-shirts. I've seen a few good one's on here. Are there any places you would recomend? I'm still building my "kilted" links so I'm not sure what is good and what is not.

Well I would say it depends on the budget, I have a few casual sporrans that I use all the time, my favourites would be my

Freelander


my L&M


and my Ferguson Britts from the Scottish Tartan Museum

Look at any of our sponsers sites, there is a multitude of sporrans to choose from.
A real casual sporran, from StillWater Kilts is the "Nightstalker" which is nylon, with zippered compartments, a lot of room.. I have one of these and use a solid leather sporran belt with it. Or get something from our resident sporran makers, who can build one to his specifications. You really cannot go wrong there. Thorfin, has a good product, very adaptable for a multitude of uses.. Matt at Scottish Tartan Museum, has some nice ones available. There are more makers on the site, please forgive me if I omitted names... But you cannot go wrong with any of them.

I just purchased a Buzz Kidder Rob Roy sporran from the Scottish Tartans Museum and am very happy with it. When finances pick up a bit, I'll be looking into a Thorfinn and a Freelander. From what I've seen here on X Marks, both are excellent choices.

I recentlyy purchased a very nice & economical brown day-wear kilt from
Stillwater Kilts for only $19.95. Just check their site for sale or reduced items.
Also go a very nice brown kilt belt w/brass buckle for $23. And none of us can
enough good things about SWK's shipping & service !!!

I have two very cheap sporrans that I love.

The first is my black SWK "Country" style day sporran, which he doesn't seem to have in stock at the moment. A little leather conditioner goes a long way.



My newest one is a What Price Glory brown day sporran, which can be found here Link. 25$ and includes a nice leather belt as well.

Words of caution about the What Price Glory sporran, it's rather small and the belt is for trim guys -- I did a detailed review with pics a while back, will see if I can dig it out and post link here. Price is right if it fits your needs, but best to know in advance what you are getting.

Agreed. You can order a larger belt if necessary. It is quite small though. Cell phone, keys - that's about it.

Edit: I fit my smokes and a lighter in it as well the other day, but it was a pain to close with all that in there.

[Panache]

A number of our sponsors offer the "Buzz Kidder" line of sporrans

They have 5-8 models and all are roomy and well made of soft leather.

Price wise they all run about $60-$65

For sporrans they are the best value out there to be had.

Cheers

May I suggest a gift card/certificate from a supplier so your rogue can select his own? It is very thoughtful of you mother to be sure. Selecting his own sporran may be a matter of personal taste.
