    Mil kilts/sporrans in Canada

    Chanced across this supplier through Ebay

    http://www.odakim.net/products.php?cat=19

    Prices for hair sporrans seem very reasonable if condition is as described

    Thanks for the link! I visited that store a number of times when I lived in Calgary, I didn't know they had a website. They quite often had old military kilts and accessories for sale.

    Sounds interesting. Hope we can get a few more reviews in here.

    Keep in mind the Canadian DND sporrans are decorative only... no pouch.

    Not to be negative, but their "Seaforth Hilander" kilt is a Hunting Stewart - wrong tartan, wrong regiment.

    I think horsehair sporrans generally are. That's why you'll frequently see pipers in bands who wear them also wearing some kind of pouch on the waist belt - gotta put your car keys somewhere.

    Of course, there are sporrans that nominally open, but you'd be lucky to fit a folded dollar bill in them. Me, I need some room for all my cra... stuff.
