Do you wear a sporrran with your utility kilt?

[DonP]

I have never used a sporran with a kilt. I don't think it's necessary considering all the pockets on utility kilts. Just wondering if that is the common practice.

i have gone with and without. depends on the mood really.
i am currently working on my steampunk outfit for dragoncon and have been going back and forth on this exact question.

but i think it is safe to say that no sporran is needed or required with the utility kilt. even on their website or booths at shows- not a sporran in sight.

A sporran with a utility kilt is a circumstantial decision. If I am going to be away from my supply source, (a long hike for example) I would carry snacks, water and some needed supplies in the kilt pockets and reserve the sporran for keys, wallet, glasses, etc. More items than that would require a backpack.

Otherwise, the utility kilt is designed to offer the best comfort and function without a sporran.

I do, if you don't count that I removed the pockets. I personally don't like the look of a sporran and cargo pockets together, though I certainly don't judge anyone who makes that choice; perhaps some can pull it off, I just don't think I'm one of them. I did initially attach D-rings to one set of pockets so I could wear them with sporran hangers when I was worried my sporran might get in the way (e.g. at work). But the more I got used to a sporran, the more I found that it was the pockets that were constantly in my way...and now I couldn't even tell you where they are other than just somewhere in my apartment.

I have a couple of utilities kilts, however I must admit that I don't wear them often but I usually wear a tactical nylon sporran formally sold by Stillwater Kilts, one of our Xmark's advertisers. To me a kilt without a sporran looks like a skirt. Jmho
Cheers all!

I usually wear a cloth sporran (sold by Amerikilt) with my utility style kilts. Normally in a contrasting color to the color of the kilt. I agree with the comment above, that a kilt, especially a solid color one, without a sporran, looks like a skirt. More importantly, so does my wife!

Always! I think a sporran is a distinguishing trait between kilts and skirts. Regardless of pocket space, a sporran is what sets kilts apart.
I always wear one with mine. Here's a picture from a performance I did several years ago. Even on stage I still wore my hose and flashes. (The jump boots were less than comfortable, though,) Given that this particular sporran was theatrical enough for what I needed. For daily wear, I use a faux leather daywear sporran from J. Higgins.

I have both a Utilikilt and a Great kilt I just got. As I live in the 21st cen. like everyone else, more often as not, I have things as must be carried; phone, keys, cigars etc.
The pockets that a U kilt comes w I find less than adequate for this and the Great Kilt... well, I CAN fold pockets into it I suspect a similar result. Not only sporan, but additional belt pouches as well
