As a personal choice, I don’t wear wool or leather. Companies like Utilikilts & Amerikilts give me options that don’t compromise my beliefs.

(As an aside to enyapj18)

You should look into the Polyvicose offerings from Sport Kilt, USA Kilts as well as MacHummel's Canadian Casual Kilts (I do not mention Stillwater's acrylics because of the leather strap where Rocky or Pete could use either velcro or another colosure system). Freedom Kilts makes a custom solid color dress model and I'm sure that Steve would be willing to forgo leather straps for you.

To my knowledge there aren't any all man made options for sporrans (Stillwater's otherwise excellent NightStalker sporran is nylon but has leather tassles). However you could trying contacting turpin or A_Hay and see if they might be willing to try their hand with pleather.

There are always options out there.

Cheers

Panache thanks for the info I'll check those kilt makers out.

I have found one all man made sporran from http://www.sporran-nation.co.uk/ for 135 pounds. Given the current exchange rates its a little more than I'm willing to spend.

Again thanks for the info.

Vinyl / pleather and faux fur are pretty inexpensive. I bet you could likely come up with a sporran that wouldn't set you back very much at all.

Search the DIY Forum and you should find several "How To" threads that will be of assistance.

Just thought I'd mention that the stillwater thrifty uses velcro rather than leather straps.

Yeah, XMTS logs you out after, like, 15 minutes without any command activity. I'd recommend doing one of two things if you're planning on writing a lengthy reply -

1) hit the "Preview Post" button about every 5 minutes, (plus I've gotten in the habit of highlighting & copying what I've written before hitting "Preview Post," just to be safe)

or

2) write your reply in a Word document & then copy & paste in toto into the XMTS message panel.

(Or you could take a speed typing class to learn to type faster!)

Never had any problems being logged out after x number of hour or days. The only problem I have is the English/French keyboard on my new láptóp.

Furthering discussion (almost original question). Not scottish, no family tartan, went with Black shadow tartan, then caramel Carhardt, then six colour desert camo until I found my district tartan - Maple Leaf. Being English born I now carry dual citizenship and defy anyone my right to wear it .

I've finally found a family tartan that I'll wear even thought he connection I have is a tenuous one and certainly not blood. After wearing kilts for a year this is the first Scottish kilt I'll feel comfortable wearing.

I hit the "Remember Me" button to keep being logged in.

I think you can wear any of the contemporary kilts, but that's in my opinion. They call it comtemporary because it's technically not "traditional," if everyone were traditional everyone would be wearing something that would remind me of a school boy outfit for adults and teens or whatever.

[McClef]

Dual citizenship Grant? Maybe that's why you need two Maple Leafs!

Ok i looked it up... urgle, that is quite horrible.

and that, right there, that "urgle" is why string is cool.
