    Out and About...

    I was pleasantly surprised to receive my hair sporran from Josh this morning.

    So I donned my new custom weave Clanranald kilt and my old cut down German uniform and hit the town to make some deliveries to the Post office.

    I got a few comments today, one lady at the P.O. was incredulous that I actually made most of everything I was wearing.

    No pictures while out, but here's one when I got back.

    Nice!!

    I like what you did with the cutdown German jacket.
    What's the story on it? The colour is not what I'm use to (but I really like it!).

    I bought an old un-issued East German dress uniform. (I think I paid $15 for it)

    I dyed it with black Rit dye and it came out a nice dark grey colour.

    I also cut it short and removed the lower pockets.

    You did a very nice job!

    ...& the rest of your attire is great too
    I really like the colour of the hair sporran as well!

    Very nice indeed. You have the eye for coordination of style and color. I dub it "photo of the month".
