They do have their own distinctive dress.

Here's a band from Pakistan, their pipes might be locally made https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82sEjyAVhoA

On the other hand, the Royal Army of Oman fields a quite good pipe band, they appear to be playing high-quality Scottish-made pipes.

A bit pricier than our brief, $65, but still a large bargain, a Nicoll Brothers Bankfoot black Evening sporran

Really nice traditional plain brown Day sporran, $20.

The star of the show however is the beautiful long-link chain strap, which will drive the bidding up.

Looks to be by Nicoll Brothers.

Nice older WE Scott seal evening sporran with silverplate top.

Within US borders, $120.

It has the scribe-line across the back, an original feature of their 1953 Patent sporrans which was eventually dropped.

The seller's description is fun '...Scottish Kilt Belt Bag...' and '...a one-size-fits-all piece, ensuring a comfortable fit for a variety of waist sizes.'

Well, he's not wrong..!

I couldn't resist; I bought it. I removed the extra two tassels. The holes left behind aren't very noticeable, and I think I prefer it with three. Some of the fur is pointing in funny directions from wear. Any recommendations to lay the fur flat?
