After weeks of internal struggle, and many great ideas from fellow Xmarkers, I decided to give up the quest for a great indestructible black boot to wear with the kilt.

I've just returned from the leather shop, and will be making a sporran to match the boots I already have. It should be an interesting experiment. I'll post pics as I go.

oh, and just to make thing's worse...I'll be double jonesing the whole time, as I've got a dark-brown and black Freelander sporran on order! This will be a fun time I am sure.
