Now one question, did you get a deal on the sporran also?
Thanks, G-Man!!
Yup, the sporran was an e-bay special. I bought it before I had a clue about day vs. semi-formal sporrans, and that was the first sporran I bought. It's got to be a Pakistani knock-off of a Scottish design.
It's kind of an odd job, in that really a sporran of this sort of design should have a metal cantle, I think. Obviously, this one doesn't. However, not one person in five hundred will know that and I just wear it for my "dress up" and call it good enough.
Here's the thing about this get-up. It's fine and I enjoy wearing it. The whole thing is dressy enough to wear to many occasions and people like it and I feel good in it. But wearing it has made me realize that I want a really nice wool kilt (can't wait to finish off the X Marks kilt) and that I might, someday, splurge on a charcoal Argyll and waistcoat.
Before owning this, I'd NEVER have even CONSIDERED spending that sort of money.
