    This isn't a cheap hobby!

    I ordered again today, even supported a sponsor. Macdonald of the Isles Hunting, a nod to my maternal grandmother. The guys at Kilt Store have been most helpful.
    Now I figure I need to get a brown sporran & sporran belt. Probably a pouch style, any good leads?
    Next tartan already picked, just gotta lay in some cash over the next two months.

    admin, is there a spell check I'm missing?

    Smile Hobby?

    Wearing a kilt isn't a hobby. It is a way of life.

    While I agree with the sentiment, it doesn't negate the fact that's it's geting expensive.
    And, it's not just money, it's time. I picked up two more history books from the liabrary on the way home tonight.
    Not complaining, just thought someone else would be able to identify.

    Hey cousin, that's my clan tartan...did you get the green on green? Have pic when/if the gallery comes back to life.

    Got mine from Kathy's Kilts at www.kathyskilts.com

    She carries sporrans...but I got mine from Freelander on this board.

    Nice thing about the Macdonald of the Isles hunting is that it works well with black or brown belts, sporrans, etc.

    Rivercuz, yes, that's the one.
    How did you get Freelander? I've left a half dozen emails with no response.
    I have a leather guy in Argentina that does great things with capybara (pig sixed rodent). Would love to get one from him.

    Check out R Kilts' sporran and belt. I've looked around and he makes a really good one for a fair price. It's just slightly oversize to carry more than the traditional shape. I'm picking up mine this weekend. He posts here and he's a good guy.
