Sporran & hose for a daytime wedding?

[thescot]

OK, the old curmudgeon just has to ring in on this one.

Solid hose colors are fine and much cheaper than tartan, so why not spend the big bucks on something else unless you are just dying for tartan hose. And a fur sporran is for evening unless there's a head stuck on it. (See http://www.sporrans.com/thompson.html)

You can be "appropriate," make a pretty good fashion statement, and save some bucks (maybe) with the following:

* solid navy (or whatever color matches your kilt) hose
* all leather dress sporran

Check this out:

A very tasteful, dressy day sporran which I think works much better for day wear than fur. You can get 'em in black, too. (I really have a thing about fur during the day time.) This is a very nice, pricey one from Matt Newsomes place, but it's among the nicest I've seen.

You can find a similar cheaper model like this one that I have:


Note the tartan hose for a day wedding, but then, I already owned the hose and didn't have to go out and buy some.

You can also get a sporran like mine with a metal cantel that adds a bit of dressiness, but I like the all leather.



Keep us posted on your final choice with pix.
