I have always admired Prince Charles' taste in sporrans.

What tartan is that? I've never seen that particular kilt on HRH before.

Cheers,

It's Prince Charles Edward. It's a new kilt made from a special length with a broad black herringbone selvedge, commissioned by the STA and woven by A. Elliot Ltd..

Thanks mate. It's beautiful. Is that considered a "universal"? (I swear I'm not getting a new kilt... I swear)

Cheers,

This tartan has been sold as such from the late 18th century so definitely not restricted in any respect. The shades in this piece were a 'special weave' so are not the general run-of-the-mill.

Maybe the same shades and same sett size for a Carolina tartan run?

Any interest? The tartans would look almost identical.

I noticed the green tartan kilt worn by the man talking to Prince Charles has sporran loops at the side of his kilt not the back and not it appears larger belt loops something I have not seen before but looks practical .

I noticed that too. I usually wear sporran hangers, but when I wear a sporran chain I will often hook the chain over the top buckles to provide a similar effect. It is more flattering to MOS (men of substance).
Slainte....

I altered a kilt a while back that had loops like that as well as large ones in back. I asked about the small side loops and the guy had never actually noticed them.
