Fantastic hose and a new to me sporran
Thanks to Troglodyte and his good lady I am the proud owner of some fine new hose and a lovely sporran from c.1920-30.

That's a pretty sharp dash you're cutting there..!
I used to have a sporran just like that, but, being the kind soul I am, I let it go to a more deserving cause.
And it looks just the thing with your splendid vintage kilt - the perfect model for us all to follow.

Seeing them worn, the effect is even more impressive than I had expected - and brings to mind this picture of the Prince of Wales and the hose he is wearing.
HRH's hose-tops are contrasting, but they seem to have a similar small diagonal check.
I won't mention that HRH is wearing ghillie-brogues...

I gave the sporran a proper run out at the Abernethy Games last weekend. Different hose on that occasion.

A classic demonstration of, how to and not to, wear kilt attire effectively.

Is that a vest overtop of a jacket?

Could be? Although on magnification, it looks more like, the back panel of the jacket and perhaps the collar, are made of a different tweed. A new fashion?
