    A Third order:
    1. Belted Plaid
    1a. Bonnet
    2. Sporran
    3. Kilt
    4. Hose
    5. Sgian
    6. X-marks
    7. Pin (then realize not that important after all )
    8. Flashes (When realize nothing to hold up hose or Sgian )
    9. Make your own (kilt, bonnet, flashes, etc.) :mrgreen:
    10. Shoes (ones JUST for kilts )
    11. Jacket (or make/convert some)
    (Fly Plaid-> Maybe-> if convince self FABRIC not better used to make another kilt)
    12. Repeat

    There is a lot of loot in a kilt, ain't there!!!!!

    The great thing about the Xmarks Twelve Step Program is that it can be done in any order, and you will always end with satisfactory results

    Just got my Rob Roy sporran and oatmeal kilt hose. The sporran is great; very roomy. But the chain belt has got to go. It is not very adjustable at all, being just a length of chain. So, now I must decide on a leather/chain, all leather (my first choice) or some of those handy belt loops that eliminate the sporran belt. I rather like the look of the second belt for the sporran.

    2 options with the chain...

    1. Cut it to length
    2. Clip on 1 side and run it around behind you. Run it THROUGH the metal rectangle on the back of the sporran and DOUBLE IT BACK on itself. Clip the chain to itself where it will sit nicely in front.

    You could always order one of those really nice braided leather sporran straps from Robert at Rkilts.

    Just thought I would help you along the road to recovery so you can start over again.

    OR buy a kilt belt from Cavscout
    (or a MacGregor special from Tartan Musuem, or another vendor)

    I ended up cutting it 2" shorter, and that seems to be just right. But . . .

    I did order some sporran belt loops from Buzz Kidder Anyone else use them?
