    You're a terrible person and played me for a fool!

    I clicked on that image, thought I was on a website, and spent several seconds clicking, and wondering why nothing worked. Then it dawned on me... I was clicking on a picture, like a buffoon. Well played sir! Well played.

    I used my MSM Stealth MCAP once or twice on a trial with my 5.11 TDK. This looks like a better option.

    Did I not include a link just above the picture? My apologies if it’s not there.

    Indeed the link is there, but like a dope, I clicked the picture, and my mind thought I had hit the link! You did fine sir. Just me, bemused by my own oafishness.

    Finally

    I've been waiting for this for years. My time from email received to ordering was 10 minutes. I had to get over my surprise at getting an email all this time after my last inquiry.
    "The Highland dress is essentially a 'free' dress, -- that is to say, a man's taste and circumstances must alone be permitted to decide when and where and how he should wear it... I presume to dictate to no man what he shall eat or drink or wherewithal he shall be clothed." -- The Hon. Stuart Ruaidri Erskine, The Kilt & How to Wear It, 1901.

    To be honest, every time I look at it, I can't help but think that this is just a version of the hunting sporran. The lace tassle means not much sound will be made when walking, at least not as much sound as metal tassles on a full-dress sporran. Let's be real here, is there real any point to these? I hadn't even heard of these until now. What is the point of these when the hunting sporran exists? I have never owned a hunting sporran but I know it is to reduce noise made from sporrans with tassles and I can infer it is very versatile so it would be suitable for outdoor/camping activities.

    Please don't misconstrue this, I am not telling people what kilt gear they can and cannot wear, I am merely expressing how I feel.

    We all have different tastes when it comes to the kilt.

    I think you're looking too much into this. This is simply a contemporary casual sporran part of the tactical trend of the last 10-15 years. Much like the tacti-Kilts and other contemporary MUGs out there. It's not meant to serve the purpose of the hunting sporran or replace it. The point of these is to have a carry all pouch around your waist that, which unlike a 200 dollars hunting sporran, you can wear just about anywhere to do any sort of rough and tumble.

    So with what type of kilt would you wear one?

    I'd say this style is more geared towards the tactical style kilt. However, Stillwater sells tartan Kilts, so I assume they are marketing towards their tartan clientele. Is it traditional? No, but it fills a niche for kilt wearers in North America. I suppose you could wear it with any kilt in a camping/outdoor situation. I would personally wear it as a hip pocket without the tassels, but then again im military and I've grown accostumed to this type of tactical carry all pouches.
