Puttin' On The Ritz

That was my thought, as well! That bracer I made you is veg tanned. All the veg I work with is fairly stiff. I use it to make belts, but I wouldn't describe it as supple- especially soft like bridle! Color me jealous of that hide.

I know, right? They come up with all sorts of cool stuff, nowdays, and this new Wonderhide is a prime example.

...I bet the cows they use have one big horn on their forehead.

Thanks, everyone, for your comments. I couldn't be more pleased with my new sporran and belts.

As far as resembling George Carlin, I disagree. When I look in the mirror, I see Brad Pitt, ..... or Groucho Marx. Sometimes, I talk with them.

As for the garbage can in the background, I have been trying to fire my photographer for years, but I can't. We have a prenupe that dates back to the 1960s that contains a very severe and punitive non-cancellation clause - something about "until death do us part ..." to which I (perhaps foolishly) swore, "I do".

My kilt is a 5-yd Casual from Burnett's and Struth sewn from Lochcarron Strome in the Duncan Ancient tartan. Those B&S kilt makers do a great job. Don't ask me about internal construction. I'm too old to buy green bananas, let alone worry about the longevity of my kilts.

I especially appreciate the insightful and timely comments about the white hose. Stay tuned to this channel. My next thread is tentatively entitled, "When White Is Right".

Finally, I would like to thank Artificer for answering Ryan's and Nighthawk's questions.
