    Fantastic hose and a new to me sporran

    Thanks to Troglodyte and his good lady I am the proud owner of some fine new hose and a lovely sporran from c.1920-30.

    You are looking pretty sharp there, old boy.

    That's a pretty sharp dash you're cutting there..!

    I used to have a sporran just like that, but, being the kind soul I am, I let it go to a more deserving cause.

    And it looks just the thing with your splendid vintage kilt - the perfect model for us all to follow.

    Seeing them worn, the effect is even more impressive than I had expected - and brings to mind this picture of the Prince of Wales and the hose he is wearing.

    HRH's hose-tops are contrasting, but they seem to have a similar small diagonal check.

    I won't mention that HRH is wearing ghillie-brogues...

    I gave the sporran a proper run out at the Abernethy Games last weekend. Different hose on that occasion.
