    You and I are in the same boat, my friend. My wife has two of them.

    Thats a very nice sporran. I've got the same problem with cat hair. If I didn't have lint-roller to keep my kilts clean,the cat would be the sporran.

    Cannot comment on cat hair, but will say that is a mighty fine looking sporran!

    My little blonde dog is a shedding machine too. I'm constantly having to wipe long blonde hairs off my clothes. That has gotten some funny comments, considering my spouse has short black hair!
    :rolleyes:

    Been looking at those closures, make sense. Thanks for the feedback on them.

    As for cat/dog hair WalMart makes a cheap garment bag that works great. plastic on one side, some sort of air flow but tight meshy stuff on the other, about $2.00 USD. Not sure what the equivalent of WalMart is in Britain....or, gasp, are they there too.....?

    Anyway, a cheap garment bag is the answer...unless you're wearing the kilt of course...

    Wait, a plastic overkilt for guys with pets...

    Just be glad you have cats - and not Siberian Huskies. Two of them.

    They shed year round, but in spring, there's a constant cloud of hair floating about the house. Always thought they'd make great fur coats. (After they die of natural causes, of course.)

    Husky kilt ...

    Last year at the Edinboro PA Scottish Festival one of the wool weavers said that's it's possible (not easy, but possible) to weave yarn out of dog hair. If you know a weaver with a bit of patience and an open mind, start weaving those clouds of hair into yarn, to weave into a "dog" kilt.

    And, not to go completely off topic - nice sporran. I was looking at a catch like that when I was designing my own.
