    I was kind of hoping for an excuse to get a new sporran...

    Alan H,
    I'm hoping to finish 2 X-Kilt this coming weekend when I return home. It's my first sewing project in almost 30 years and if they only look half as good as the others I've seen, I'll consider them a success.

    Panache,
    Very sharp. What's the buckle you're wearing? It's hard to tell from the picture.

    It looks great! Wonderfully sewn and perfectly accesorized.

    Yes, Jamie, welcome to the "dark side..." once you go camo there's no turning back...and you definitely need a new sporran to keep you from blending into the trees.

    I am sorry if I have been misunderstood.I had no intention to be rude and I am sorry you have taken it that way,I was trying to be witty, and failing it seems.I was simply trying to imply that the cammo was so good that I could not see it.

    No, Jock. It is I who should apologize. I'm a bit tired and am only here because I'm having a hard time sleeping. I've been reading a lot of recent threads about what does and does not constitute a kilt and completely missed the connection. Upon a re-read, your pun was spot on and I blew the initial reading.
    I'll go back and remove my earlier statement and, again, I apologize.

    Very nice kilt. Looks good on you, Panache. Alan did a great job yet again.


    I think you might need a new sporran though. As lovely as that one is, it just seems like you really need to buy a new one to go better with the new kilt. :P
