    LOL Ebay listing

    Here it is

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-100-...AAAOSwmoxZqGVh

    Don't think I've ever seen so much kilt with so little sporran.

    Just in case someone snaps up this gem and the listing disappears


    The free infant's sporran is a nice touch if you also need one for a kid at a function or wedding

    And of course the "kilt" is a lady's skirt.

    On the plus side, here's a beautiful sealskin and leather genuine vintage Made In Scotland sporran for under $40.

    And people will pass this up to spend twice as much on ugly Pakistani sporrans, saying they have to buy Pakistani stuff because they can't afford real Scottish-made things. (Yes if you're outwith Australia the shipping will be expensive, and you can't bring sealskin into the USA. But still it's well under $100US for a great sporran if you live in a sealskin-tolerant country.)

    My favorite part of the listing is the line "size tag is not there, might be costume made"

    Costume?

    Is it a kilted skirt, seeing as is fastens on the left?

    There are other 'clues' as well as the fastening - the darts in the apron, the amount of flare making it quite / \ in shape rather than the lower part being l l and only the fell shaped. It is a skirt.
