    Re: Pondering Adding a Front Apron Pocket: Contemporary Canvas

A place to tuck a set of car keys, a slim id wallet, and a $20 bill might not be a bad idea. But then the obvious question: Why not just use the sporan for such?
    Not so sure I want to wear a sporran too often with a canvas kilt. I had considered Riverkilt's suggestion of vests, also, but that might be a little too hot in the summer.
    My canvas kilt has no pockets, as it is, and I'm trying to adapt it just a little. This pocket would be where a kilt pin might go, and might be big enough to hold keys or something small.
    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

    Re: Pondering Adding a Front Apron Pocket: Contemporary Canvas

    Cabela's has the answer!

    Safari shirts in 2 styles, one with two simple button pockets, the slightly more expensive with same plus zipper pockets behind them (but wait, there's more!) a button pocket on the left sleeve.

    Got a bunch of them; one does not need kilt pockets.
