Who Was Prince Charlie Anyway?

My point in posting this, however, is not to tout my own personal preferences, but to suggest that investing in such quality items can actually be a form of frugality. While buying a quality hand crafted item like those mentioned will undoubtedly cost more up front, in the long run it may actually be less expensive. Items such as these will last many years -- often a lifetime. Less expensive items will often wear out and need frequent replacement. In this age of consumerism where everything we buy is seen as disposable, how refreshing is it to wear a sporran and think, one day my grandson will wear this and think of his grandfather...

Yes, quality costs money, but the funny thing about quality -- it's always a sound investment!

Nicely said Matt. While I like to get a "good deal" like anyone else, I too appreciate quality & would rather spend money on something that'll last than something that'll break after a couple of uses (I've learned this the hard way), something that drives my wife nuts

On the MacLeary prints I posted, from time to time the system I have them stored on has a hiccup, thus they maynot appear for a wee bit. I apologize to everyone. These prints can be obtained from many sources including the STA: http://www.tartansauthority-shop.com...g/MacLeay.html
