Two items today/ Buzz Kidder and Sportkilt

[mbhandy]

With an evil laugh, I seized the sporran and used the leather dye, throwing caution to the wind.

How did it turn out?

Marvelous!!!!!!!!!!!! Ran out and got the boots. Once the leather dye stops stinking, I have my ensemble. And I will take a photo with the leather and the Scottishkilt and post it soon.

Just remember to use a polish after the dye to set it so it won't get on your cilt.

Certainly...that's part of my projects for today.

I've got a Buzz Kidder brown sporran on order and have been thinking about dying it a darker brown too. I'd be interested in seeing pictures of how yours turned out. Nearest Tandy store is an hour and a half away so I called them yesterday and had them ship me a 3/4" leather strap and some silver buckles for a sporran strap. I already have plenty of dye in the color I want, and a new pair of brown boots and new wingtips for dressier. Damn accessories are gonna bankrupt me. I also found some WWII Sam Browne belts on ebay that should make a really nifty kilt belt.

The first two links are mine , the third is still up for grabs if anyone wants one in black. $20 is the high bid right now. I've already got one in black, but I figured for $20 what the hell.

I will post pics ASAP. May not be until Monday.

I will take a close up of the sporran. Sorry, but I will not have a before picture.

Make sure you read my earlier thread about Buzz Kidder and the delay in shipping. They did overnight it, but did not sned the shirt that I was promised. Maybe on back order.

Glad the leather dye worked out for you. I've got a Buzz Kidder Country Sporran in black, and really like it. The leather is heavy, yet soft. It's a very roomy sporran - my favorite.
