The red ones are worn very well by The Red Hot Chilli Pipers - see this recent thread:

I have also seen sporrans of this nature worn well at Fashion Shows and even weddings - but never with tartan kilts, only plain ones!

Thanks Ham. The one I was referring to was the VERY bright yellow and just to clear up, Big Bird is a large yellow bird on Sesame Street (kids show).

Well Hamish I do hope your new kilt from Barb arrives this week and that you don't need to wait too long for the delayed Craig ancient. The three piece suit sounds nice; looking forrward to seeing the pictures in due course.

Good video. It was a bit campy but it shows the kilt can be fun. I did like to listen to everyone's opinion.

Thanks for posting the video Ham. I found it very entertaining and informative. That's what I like about this forum one learns something new every day.

I enjoyed the video Ham. Howie came across as both knowledgeable and a pleasant fellow. I liked the old lady in Scotland that preferred tartan kilts (especially the McPherson tartan

).

Can't wait to see your next 21st Century Kilt aquisition!

Cheers
