Does it look like I don't know what I'm doing if im wearing it without spats? I wanted to wear it for a solo piping gig next Sunday, but my spats have not come in yet. They are on back order.
Thanks

Absolutely no problem. I have never worn spats. I have a lovely horsehair sporran from Kinloch Anderson and wear it to appropriate events. Just look at yourself in the mirror and make sure you look good. Go for it.

Is there a requirement to maintain a standard of uniform? If this is just "you" and not representing a band or other set-uniform organization, it shouldn't matter. I've seen plenty of pics of HorseHair sporrans without spats accompaniment.

Because of the occasion, I can understand why you want to wear the spats. But if they don't arrive in time, there is no harm whatever if you don't wear them.

There's nothing wrong with wearing a horse hair sporran on a really 'dressy' occasion and I don't know why they went out of fashion. I certainly don't think you need to wear spats with it either. I'm a very large build and I find that the longer horse hair sporran looks more impressive on me, and also I love the way it swings when I walk. With that and the pleats going together it's a great feeling!

The "Bad Piper" from Australia has been wearing a horse hair sporran with biker boots & people love it . If you are performing solo at a church you'll be fine with whatever you wear .
