Welcome, from Fairbanks, Alaska!

To those from NY State, I'm slowly gathering kit for portrayal as a soldier in the New York's 79th Cameron Highlanders (circa 1858).

Very cool!

Have you seen the website for the company which sells replicas of the sporrans they wore? At least, I think if was theirs. I know that it was the NY Highland Regiment.

If you check out the Lewis hose from the Scottish Tartan Museum, they have a few different reds, and there is Hamilton Dry Goods, I have a pair of these and I love them.

Thanks, McMurdo. I'll check these places out.

No, what company? Is it Craigies? They exhibit something similar. I've bought 4 sporrans from Craigies over the years and am very pleased at their quality and uniqueness.
