Should Batman use a Sporran?

[Rex_Tremende]

Do you wear a sporran with your kilt and why?
If you don't use one, what do you carry your stuff in? What do you do?
what are advantages and disadvantages?
How is it functionally?
What about looks/style?
Does a kilts sans sporran look too "skirt-like?"
What do y'all think?

Try these threads:

• Sporran all the time
• To sporran, or not to sporran, that is the ??
• What is in Your Sporran?

Great pictures, Rob. Thanks.

Do you wear a sporran with your kilt and why?
I only own a dress sporan to wear at social events.

If you don't use one, what do you carry your stuff in? What do you do?When I don't use a sporran, I have several alternatives. I have pocketed shirts and vests. My most creative alternative is to place all the things I need in a dark subtle bandana, pull the four corners of the bandana up around them, and run it through my kilt belt to create a sort of pouch on my side.

what are advantages and disadvantages?
Well the sporran (black rabbit fur) is really nice. No one knows what it is though, and I get a lot of questions. The bandana takes a moment to open and reclose, though.

How is it functionally?
The sporran is best for function. But the shirt pockets, vest pockets, and bandana pouch are all good.

What about looks/style?
Does a kilts sans sporran look too "skirt-like?"
Not at all. The plaid makes it undeniably a kilt. The sporran is usually the part people don't get in my home town.
