All right, we’ve covered kilts pretty well. Anybody know where I can find lederhosen? I’m certain I _need_ a pair of suede shorts. And the hat. I need the hat, too. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Ballybay \* > \*\* I second the call for pictures. \*\* Anything for you, **Ballybay**! 🙂 Thanks for the help, all… I’m going shopping this weekend. I’ve got to do this on the cheap, but I think I can put one together, with all the hints you guys and gals’ve given me. As for a TRF Dopefest (Ye Olde Dopefest? DopeRenFest?), I’m all for that. I camp there several times each year, and it’d be great to get a big group together… Plus, there are a few dopechicks I’d just LOVE to see in garb… and you know who you are… 🙂 ---

It holds all the most important things to have when I am at Faire. Condoms, flask, [sub]jiznoint[/sub], smokes, money, ID, cell phone and keys. It’s heavy, but it works for me. 🙂 ---

Yeah it’s not period, but can’t be seen, and holds my cell phone, smokes, keys and wallet pretty nice and secure. Plus Great kilts are GREAT for holding things. I can’t count the number of times i’ve had a sixpack or two stashed away in the folds for a quick refreshment! ---

If you want to carry stuff, you could weare a leine with the long, droopy sleeves and carry stuff in the droopy parts. My wife does that. I saw some chinchilla furs for sale at an event once and wanted to buy one so I could make the teeniest sporran in all the land… ---

The current “liene” shirts they sell patterns for at renfests were invented in California in the 1970’s by rennies. These look cool, but they’re less “period” than a sporran… Rent and watch “Rob Roy” for good ideas about shirts, period pouches (proto-sporrans!) and etc. I do tend to carry stuff in the folds of the plaid, but you have to be careful not to sit on breakables you might be transporting!
