Saltire Sporran

[Pittsburgh Kilts]

The Xmarks forum was the inspiration for this idea, so I thought this would be a good place to introduce it!

Somebody get a mop, I am knee deep in drool.

So uh, hrm, hey... Do you make a two tone kilt that matches it? Could you, would you, sell them as a package? In a heavyweight material?

Quick, somebody find my sox... Something just knocked them right offa me.

I can see it with your kilts! I especially like what you said about them on your site, sometimes even us guys who have been around awhile forget what it is all about. I really think that they will do you well Jeff, and who knows what is lurking in the back of my mind or the corner of my mouth

Was just over checking that baby out. Your website looks great...a lot easier to navigate...congrats to you or whoever did the work...

Now, where did I leave my plastic...

What I like about it is it just might help deflect some of the "Are you Scottish?" questions...

Never knew the history of the Scottish flag, thought it just "was." Thanks for that info too.

House of Edgar make something entirely innovative -- a kilt that is 'pleated to the flag' -- the material is woven so that when it's pleated, a Saltire apears across the whole back of the kilt. There's a big rage for them in Scotland just now. I can get one for you if you want it -- I have a trade account with them. Here's what it looks like:



It looks purple in the picture, but it's actually the proper shade of blue for the Saltire. Don't ask me why they took the pictures on an angle like that -- I think it looks stupid -- I need to get my own pics of it!

Ahhh, now I see...cool Todd, thanks for the good history...I still can't figure out what the red bar overlays on the St. Andrew's cross are for on the Union Jack...??

Cyndi..the "math" for that kilt must be incredible...how do they do that!!?? Amazing.

That's GOTTA be an expensive kilt, just from the workmanship involved to pull it off...how does the mill weave that?

Got my besotted mind spinning and confused and my mouth watering....

An orange solid color kilt and a saltire sporran would be a fine combination for a Fighting Illini Fan!!

It might a bit much with my Saltire Kilt but I really like it. I guess this means I will have to buy a new kilt to go with it

Nice, I have seen a few regular leather sporrans with the front in the colours of the saltire as well. The best one was the blue and white saltire in fur.
