    Sporran Etiquete

    Thanks all for such helpful responses.

    The bride will be rapt as she is an "out there" girl and has already given the seal of approval for the Kilt etc. Was disappointed in fact when I wore the Ramsay Blue (hunting) to my nieces wedding as she thought I was saving it or her wedding. I reassured her that her wedding was under control as I had only worn the Ramsay Blue, with hunting sporran and a Ghillie shirt and no jacket etc as it was an outdoor casual afternoon wedding as opposed to hers which is very formal in a castle and listed as "Black Tie'

    She is unaware of the Sporran change -until this one turned up I only had the hunting one similar to Steve's- so it will set it all off nicely I think being "Father of the Bride"

    I note McMUrdo that you have your belt on the outside o your jacket in one o the photos, I had not seen this before, pray do tell the story behind.

    Hamish, I'm wearing a Balmoral Doublet in the photo. The Duke of Rothesay and a few others wear one as well. As it is an older style doublet, mine is from 1911 btw. The belt is worn with it as is the custom with other doublets like the Montrose. Here are a few photos

    Wasn’t the belt over doublet originally supposed to be so a dirk could be worn for formal occasions, or am I wrong?
