Bunny Sporran
Hi all, this thread has become about the putting together of a kilt outfit, and the conversion of a corduroy jacket and vest to that outfit. The bunny sporran (rabbit fur sporran) is part of this outfit, as well as matching tweed shoes and driving cap. In the future, I plan to add brown hoes to this combination following a suggestion posted by MacMillan of Rathdown. He also began the idea of using a corduroy jacket as seen below. I would be glad to consider any other suggestions.

Hi all, I will be visiting family for a few days over in freezing Albuquerque, N.M. this week, and I plan on kilting one of those days. I'll be wearing my SWK Weathered Half Lamont, a brown polo shirt and brown tweed shoes, no belt. I'm wondering should I wear a brown bunny sporran, or a plain brown leather sporran? They're both from SWK and not too fancy.
This is a link to where the idea for my corduroy jacket conversion began. It's a thread called "Black Cororoy jacket conversion" by James MacMillan.

The folowing is acut and paste of the post where it all clicked together as an idea:
I have a brown corduroy jacket and vest that I'm looking at for conversion that sounds a bit like that. Glad to hear that it works. I'm thinking it will go well with my Weathered Lamont 1/2 set. It has patch pockets too, so it might be an easy chop job for the lady with the needels.

So thanks to the MacMillan clan for this idea.

I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
