If I was buying, I'd consider a brown leather day sporran, but that's only 'cause I like brown. Oh, and the sporran chain? I don't wear chains at all now, not even for dressed up. You look good there.

Kyle: The Macpherson kilt your wearing in the highlands picture is really striking! Is it pleated to stripe? Get it on man and post a thread full of pictures. I'd love to hear more about it. What a belter! [Oooops sorry, thread hijack. Sorry!]
Many thanks for the kind comments, they are much appreciated. I will indeed upload more photos of that particular Macpherson kilt, but I can tell you this, it is the Macpherson Hunting Ancient tartan, 16 ounce Strome by Lochcarron. you are correct John, it is pleated to the stripe, as all of my kilts are pleated in the regimental fashion, which may not always be the case for future kilt orders, but this particular pleating style works extremely well with virtually all the Macpherson and Chattan tartans (not specific tartans of the confederacy of clans listed under Clan Chattan, rather the tartan of Clan Chattan itself - Lochcarron makes a nice ancient variant and Dalgliesh, modern).

I had this kilt pleated to the vertical blue lines that are encased by the red, which overall, appears almost a purplish-pink when looking at this particular tartan from afar - sometimes it may also appear a very dull, drabby colour of grey - both of which are perfect for blending in with the heather of the hills!

Additional photos to include close-ups of the tartan are to follow...
