Your progress is commendable. I would consider perhaps putting your sporran and dirk on the belt holding up your plaid, vice a separate belt. More often than not, a separate belt seems to be a practice used with cantled sporrans with bars at each side for a belt, vice a single loop sporran.
Thanks, so do I put the dirk and sporran on the belt on the floor/ground before you fasten the kilt, or do you do it after you have fastened the belt when you stand up after putting the kilt on. As always I appreciate your input. Next time I will send photo with targe, sword etc.
Fort Frederick was beautiful this year, but I did not go Saturday or Sunday, weather was little iffy on both days with afternoon thundershowers. This was my first time going to this specific event. I did Civil War days in August several times in the past, and few ACW Living History Encampments. I was really surprised to find so many dressing as Native Americans, and the extent to which they did the impression was commendable on their part. Most were F&I, couple of Jacobites, and Rev War, good mix.
Still working on several other things, need to find another source for the wool bag socks, do you know of any. I bought two pair but cannot get them over the ankle, way too tight, got to figure out what to do for that...one pair, one in photo, fits great, other two cannot get on foot.
If you know source PM me...very interested.... Thanks...
