    Seago Sensei, I'll be expecting a super-evil pic of you, shortly. Complete with your devilfish sporran.

    Heck, we need to find someone who's good with photoshop, to 'shop us all together in a group shot. That'd be unspeakable. :cthulhusmiley:

    Re: R'lyeh Sett Jonesin' Thread...

    At LOOOOOOOONG last, I can reveal my scheme!

    As many of you know, I'm not one to do something by half-measures, so when I decided that I was going to get a kilt made in the R'lyeh sett, I was going all-out.



    Matt sewed up my kilt (5yd box pleat) and it's a delight to wear. As much as I love the swish of an 8yd 16oz kilt, the box pleat is incredibly comfortable to wear- ESPECIALLY if you're required to sit/drive.
    He had his tailor make the waistcoat to my spec (four button, square bottom edge, shawl collar).

    Matt's hose maker did up a set of diced hose to match the dusty purple and the middle-toned green.



    I'd say they "fit like a glove", but in truth they fit like perfectly sized hose.

    My ex-MoD "Devilfish" sporran is doing duty until I finally have the time to make my themed dress sporran.

    Re: R'lyeh Sett Jonesin' Thread...

    That is truly splendid looking! Fantastic!

    I thought the waistcoat looked impressive when I mailed it out to you, but there is no substitute for seeing it on, as part of the whole outfit.

    Do you mind if I use these pics on my site, Scott?

    Again, fantastic!

    Scott, that is an outfit to be proud of! Outstanding.

    I only ever wanted one Artificer sporran, but now that I have R'lyeh sett tartan I really want a ray skin sporran, too. Sigh, does it never end?

    Thanks all, I must say that I'm quite pleased. Now to finally save up enough for the doublet I want.***

    Thanks, Matt. Let me see if my wife can get one of me where everything is properly aligned. It's the curse of self-pix with a timer. Focus, press the button, run-like-mad, try-to-get-everything-straight-again, click.

    Yeah, especially since I doubt that, should there be a second run, the dyes won't match even if they do custom dye for us again.

    As it happens, I DO have another devilfish skin in the shop... it's a MONSTER sized one, and a beauty. Just saying.



    And no, as long as you're hanging around on X-Marks there will ALWAYS be something new to want. ***see my comments on the first line.

    Superb Scott, What you have put together is a whole lot of style. The cut of your waistcoat is very very nice and the hose are right on the money. Good one.

    Re: R'lyeh Sett Jonesin' Thread...

    Scott, you've put together one HECK of an outfit there, my friend! The hose and waistcoat look a treat, for sure! Can't wait to see the themed sporran!

    And also, it does my heart much good to finally SEE someone else wear this tartan! I've felt like the lone cultist for two months!

    May WE be eaten first,

    Ryan

    EDIT: I see that you also opted to pleat to "***"; the finest choice, IMHO.
