Irish Kilt?

[kiltbook]

I would never want to dictate to the Irish Guards pipers about what they wear, but personal experience has taught me the value of wearing a sporran

I know it may seem strange to many Scots, but many Irish communities around the world regard the wearing of a sporran as a Scottish custom. Civilian Irish attire has never been the same as that worn by bagpipers or members of the Irish military, where sporrans are sometimes used.

Pockets in other clothing worn with the kilt is normally used to hold keys, cell phones, etc. For instance, some men prefer to wear a security, pilot, or military shirt when kilted and the pockets in these shirts hold essential items. On more formal occasions a vest is customary, and all essential items are placed in the pockets of the vest.

Scots customs are more prevalant in some communities where sporrans, Irish tartans, and kilt jackets are normative.

I'm sorry if I offended anyone with the statement I made about sporrans. This is what I was taught by my community.
