Thank you Google. The search terms 'sequin' and 'sporran' turned up several hits, including this one from a masquerade shop:

of course, it also turned up this one... I just had to show it. Talk about sick and twisted!

This just in from BBC News:

Elvis honoured by Presley tartan
Elvis Presley
Elvis Presley visited Scotland briefly in 1960
A special Presley tartan has been designed to honour the King of Rock and Roll's north east of Scotland roots.

Elvis's alleged roots can be traced back to tiny Lonmay in Aberdeenshire.

Now an official Presley of Lonmay tartan has been invented. It is made up of four different colours - blue, grey, green and yellow.

The kilt even comes complete with a sporran engraved with thistles and a bald eagle - marking the Scottish and American link.

Lonmay's only hotel now plans to deck itself out in the tartan in recognition of the Elvis connection.

The Presley of Lonmay tartan inventor, Mike King, is a known tartan designer and director of the Aberdeen menswear and tartan hire family firm Philip King.

He hopes the Presley of Lonmay tartan will win fans throughout the world.

Mr King, 59, said: "I am very proud of this Presley of Lonmay tartan as I bought his records when I was younger and am a fan.

"We used blue to represent the nearby town of Peterhead - the Blue Toon - as well as grey for the skies, green for countryside grass, and yellow for local cornfields.

"The sporran is gold and engraved with thistles and a bald eagle to show the Scottish and American link."

David Gibbins, owner of Lonmay's Ban-Car Hotel, said: "It's a great idea and I wish the kilt maker luck.

"It's a nice tartan.

"We are refurbishing our lounge so we plan to use the Presley of Lonmay tartan to re-decorate."

Ian Hainey, Aberdeen and Grampian Tourist Board's spokesman, said: "Hopefully this is the start of entrepreneurs and local businesses moving in to take advantage of the Elvis link and help tourism in the area."

UPDATE:A new tartan, Presley of Lonmay, has been designed to honor Elvis's connection with Scotland, discovered in 2004. The blue to represent the nearby town of Peterhead. The grey for the skies. The green for countryside grass and yellow for local cornfields.

The King of Rock 'n' Roll's distant roots were traced back to the village of Lonmay in Aberdeenshire Scotland. Allan Morrison, the author who traced Elvis's ancestors back almost 300 years to the Parish of Lonmay for his book, The Presley Prophesy, discovered that Andrew Presley married Elspeth Leg at Lonmay on 27 August 1713, their son, Andrew, having arrived in North Carolina in 1745.

The pure wool kilt, in shades of blue, grey, green and yellow, comes complete with gold accessories, including a sporran engraved with thistles and a bald eagle to highlight the Scottish/American link. Launched by an Elvis lookalike, the tartan is also to be used in the refurbishment of Lonmay's only hotel, the Ban-car.

Designer Mike King, Elvis fan and director of Philip King, the Aberdeen-based menswear and tartan hire company, hopes the tartan will win favor throughout the world. Anyone interested in obtaining the tartan to contact the shop: www.philip-king.com

Not sure about the translation, but good luck with it, and if you guys make it to Collingwood for the Elvis festival in the summer let us Canadians know.
