US Army PV Kilt and... unusual?... sporran

[Fearnest]

Rocky & Kelly - thanks for a super kilt!

I had one bit of a surprise the first time I wore it, which I'll mention at the end of the post.


The tartan is great - as others have said, darker than expected (but the shad I had hoped for, so absolutely no disappointments there!)


For those who recognize it, yes I "earned" that sporran - it was the first one I was issued way back once upon a time. No, I'm not quite old enough to have carried an M14 (except in Ranger School), but I got issued the M14 ammo pouches to carry my 18 round mags for the M16 (can't put them all in boys, they'll jam - just put the other two in your pocket for later). Hmmm...




And now for the moment. There was some dancing tonight, and the fabric has a bit more... action, shall we say?... than I had anticipated. Let's just say a friend of mine let me know there was no reason for anyone to ask me "the question."

All in all? A great kilt - better than I had hoped for! (So very glad I "got in" on the special weaving.) I'll just have to remember to be a little more sedate in my dancing, and to avoid the subway grates when I'm wearing it.

Cool kilt and Excellent Sporran.

Ahh, more Lewis kilt hose...goes well with the Army tartan. A good look.

Looks great. I really like the sporran. I might have to get one like that to match my olive drab kilt.

Like the Tartan, wouldn't recommend the wearing that sporran over here

Great outfit for a day at the range! Well done!!

Thanks for the advice!

Honestly, it's not a very practical sporran (unless one is only carrying the items for which it was originally designed) and I don't see myself wearing it except when it would have special meaning to myself and others.

I wanted the first pictures to reflect something about why I chose to get this particular tartan. That's why I also chose the shirt I did - again, not much meaning to most, but special to me and to a few other folks in the world.


Second to None!!!

Ha Ha, and there's nothing wrong with that
