    I would like to comment on this outfit - I think that it is fantastic! You've got a great looking kilt, paired with a nice linen vest made for wear with a kilt, and what looks like a linen shirt. A great outfit for warmer climes. The hose, while perhaps a bit ostentatious to some, add contrast and show some personal flair. I think that you have built a practical outfit suitable for the climate in your local area, and added some nice touches that make the outfit yours. To my eye, there are lot of things done very well here: nice individual pieces that go well together, proper fit, use of colour, appropriateness for the climate, and overall simplicity. It works for me. Congrats!

    I think the formality of a sporran should come down to the cantle more than anything; I know that sounds like I beleive in "semi-dress" sporrans, but hear me out; the hair sporran I made really can't be dressed up beyond tweed (not just because it's brown). It's not TOO far off the tracks as old school sporrans go, so where's that leave it? They went out of style, but I don't think all hair sporrans are the same as a silver cantle'd white bandsman sporran.

    I wear this one more than my "normal" day sporran, mosty because the pouch is bigger, but also because I like the extra "Swish" and "swagger" up front as well as behind!
