It is one of my thrift store finds that I converted into a kilt jacket. I still have to hand sew the pockets, but having a good wool (brown) vest to match the jacket is perfect for a cold night out!

Aye, thanks for asking.

The paint job and door knob are really awesome!

Rex.

Glad you got out and about on the Bard's birthday, Jonathan. Nice kilt, BTW. It goes with the doorknob

Weel, I never made it to the music, but we had a grand time at Cabana, with two for one pints and pizzas! Kronenburg (German beer) was my choice of the night...and the best compliment came from a friend, who wouldn't be caught dead in a kilt, say: "Dude, you look punk rock!" That's Nashville slang for "I'm jealous"

Thanks for the pic! Looks like you had a grand time! I'm interested in this sporran you made! How did you make it? What fur is it made of, and did you use a pattern? Maybe it's better for the DIY forum...? Thanks!

This was really just a post showing off my outfit as a whole, before going out to celebrate, however, I appreciate your inquiry!

The sporran actually was ordered in cowhide w/ cantle...(I really bought it cause of the cantle.) After designing a completely hand-made Badger sporran for my Dad, I used the left over fur to RE-COVER my cowhide and placing the cantle over top of the badger. Also, I reversed the tassels so that the grey suede was revealed instead of the shiny black leather....and added a custom pocket inside. The fur was purchased on Ebay as a full hide w/ claws.

cheers!
