    I have travelled to the US with my kilt and accessories. I agree with the others. Leave the seal skin sporran at home and buy a leather one while in the US; it'll make things simpler. As for the sgain dubh, McMurdo is right, it should be fine in your stow away luggage. Mine always was.

    Congratulations on your upcoming wedding!

    Stillwater Kilts has a really handsome black rabbit fur sporran that I think would look really good with formalwear but whose style would also work with smart daywear. I have the brown version and am very plesaed with it. I saw the black one at a Burn's Night Supper this January. For a little over $40 it's a good deal.

    Cheers

    One should also watch wearing a seal skin sporran in Canada. Customs will leave you alone but there might be some of us drunks wanting to club it!

    As someone who actually seizes things on behalf of Fish and Wildlife, I say go with McMurdo's first post, except there is no age restriction. Leave the sealskin at home.

    How do you tell the difference between seal and say rabbit?

    The same way you can look at Glen's and mine kilts, and tell one of us has a dog, and the other a cat. There are differences in the hairs - appearance, texture.
