    TV Host Craig Ferguson's Wild Kilt

    So I just had to start laughing today at work when I saw the cover of Craig Ferguson's new book. I thought the cover was hilarious and eye-catching. I must say that I don't think I could ever where this kilt and sporran. It is just a little to over the top for me! I wonder who made the kilt and sporran. Does anybody know or have a guess?

    I first saw this on his show weeks ago and thought it looked very funny.

    Did you see the actual kilt or just the book cover? Because it rather looks like a photoshopped Utilikilt to me. Either way, that makes it an artistic statement meant for the dust cover of a memoir about a Scottish-born American citizen.

    Yes, I was also wondering if it is indeed a real kilt, or just photoshopped. It just looks a little too perfect on the book jacket to be an actual kilt being worn to my eye. I saw it on his show a couple of weeks ago.

    What exactly was it that you folks saw? The book or the kilt?

    I rather doubt that it is truly a kilt, most likely photo shopped. However if it really is a kilt Slanj in Glasgow would be my guess. They did outfits for the two designers Colin and Justin when they were coming to Canada white kilts with red maple leaf sporrans this is the link for the picture http://www.slanjkilts.com/Latest/Col...To-Canada.html
