 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...

	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?
