Sporrans with contemporary kilts?

[Alaskan Kilted Guy]

How many of you guys wear sporrans with your UK's, Amerikilts, Freedom Kilts, etc? Got pics? Just want to see some options....

I wear a sporran with a Buzz Kidder... Probably not quite exactly what you are talking about, though.

i have seen sporran worn with UKs. so i guess its ok to do that, well I planned on doing that anyways.

My A_Hay sporran with my Amerikilt. I think it looks good. Truth is, I have a black basic leather sporran from SWK that I prefer to wear with my AK, but I was on a road trip with the whole family, and there is only so much room, so I brought my two nicest sporrans.

Are you a rugby player by chance? Your calves are huge man, you'd be an a-bomb in the scrum I'd guess.

Alaskan,

This is just my personal opinion, but I think a Scottish type sporran with a contemporary (non-traditional) kilt looks somewhat out of place. The Amerikilt comes with it's own cloth sporran made out of the same material, and in the same color as the kilt, plus you also get one back pocket. UK's, Freedom kilts, etc., have ample pocket storage. Also, I prefer non-traditional kilts without flashes and kilt pins. Kilt hose look o.k.

I guess my point is, these are not traditional Scottish kilts, or modern kilts that resemble Scottish kilts. I have nothing against Scottish kilts and Scottish type accessories because I have several traditional Scottish kilts. I also have several Amerikilts and prefer to keep a pure, non-traditional look when I wear them. Again, just my opinion. Certainly there are no rules. We are all free to use the accessories we please.

I wear leather day sporrans with my two Amerikilts.
Often I prefer to use classic sporrans instead of the cotton one that come with the Amerikilt.

I agree. The cloth sporran is a nice idea, but I just don't like the way it looks, especially with formal wear. My black AK looks great with my white rabbit fur sporran and a PC.

It never occurred to me to wear a sporran with my Utilikilts. I like the look with traditional kilts, but hadn't thought of combining a sporran with cargo pockets.

I don't wear sporrans with my UK's but they all have big cargo pockets. I've heard of people wearing them with UK mockers though.

Best regards,
