Finally got off me rear-end

[Schultz]

What weight is the kilt? Was it handsewn or machine sewn? Are the jacket and waistcaot from there as well?

Thanks

It's a 16oz handsewn eight yarder. The jacket and the waistcoat are from there as well. There was a slight problem with the jacket, as there was WAY too much lining in the right sleeve when I got it. It was near impossible to just put your arm through it: the lining was twisted and just plain in the way. But that only took some needle and thread and about half an hour of sewing to take care of. Otherwise, I love it.

You've fairly made a textbook of different looks! Good shots.

Hey thanks for sharing your pics. Gives me some ideas what to wear with my very similar kilt.

I'm in the market for a dress sporran. Hope you don't mind me saying, but I am not convinced that a white sporran is the best--although I'm not convinced that it isn't. What else to get though. A black fur sporran? Too glib. Grey? not perfect. A brown coloured fur like beaver or muskrat? perhaps beaver would be good, to speak to my Scottish-Canadianness (yes, yes one of the most embarrassing things about Canada is that the beaver is our national animal--not an eagle, lion or bear but a reputedly self-castrating rodent), but still, aesthetically, not perfect. Any suggestions to someone trying to find a sporran to match a kilt very much like Schultz's?

If you're specifically looking for fur, here's a source for a variety of types:

Craigie Originals:

I considered getting their full-face skunk sporran, but ended up with the angora. I'm pretty happy with it (although I don't have many opportunities for formal events), but it does shed some.

Per the original post: Schultz, lookin' good, man!!

I've heard good things about Craigie's.


Your fur may need to be stored in a refrigerator. They don't like to be warm.

L&M make a very beautiful and very expensive Beaver sporran! I love the three Maple Leafs. I'll have to look up the price to see just how expensive.

My mum chased one of my sister's boyfriends out of the house for helping himself to the milk in the fridge. I'm just picturing how effective it would have been to have a skunk face sporran sitting in the fridge when he opened the door.
