Very nice Mat, congratulations to your wife, the hose are great.

Those hose are terrific. Pass my admiration along to your wife for her skills. Give your youngest time, he'll grow to appreciate the pipes.

YMOS,
Tony

Regarding the sporran, the skunk fur isn't my first preference, either. Most folks know I already own a beaver. It was the first Ferguson Britt sporran I bought for myself. The fur is just so incredibly soft I couldn't resist.

And if I were to buy another fur sporran, it'd be the bobcat, just because of the attractive coloration.

But, I had to try out the skunk with this outfit. With the black and white hose, the black and white theme above the waist, and the grey kilt, that skunk fur just seemed the perfect accent!

And why not? Skunk has always provided the perfect "ACK!" scent, too!

I thought it looked great - good choice - and so I spent a little time this morning playing with your online sporran builder in skunk.

Regards,
Rex.

Yeah, the sporran matches the amazing hose very well. The outfit looks great.

Now if only we could "cure" your son of his pipophobia...

Now, it occurs to me that if your wife had TWO items to enter in the contest, her odds would double. I wear size 12 with 18" calves...........nudge, nudge, wink, wink!

Seriously styling Matt! Well Done!!
