Except that he also said they're not pockets, so I'm still confused regarding terminology vs. accessibility. Could one put things in them? (Low on the need to know scale, even approaching my 78th birthday and needing places to store my gadgets, including AirTags to paste on my AirTags – sometimes I think I should swallow one of them so I could find myself)! Long and short of it, however, I have NO need for a doublet.

Must admit that's the first time I've ever heard of "German Silver." I had to look it up. But I'm VERY happy to know that "mixing metals" is not a sartorial sin.

Originally I'd planned to post a pic of a red fox fur sporran from USA kilts, but I chose that one because if it's good enough for the guys whose customer mailing list includes "His Royal Highness" it MUST be good enough for me, but I didn't like the cantle either! But, my real jeopardy after being tossed out onto the street for asking my wife to fasten the sporran strap of a full head
fur sporran here in Montana would not come from a fervent PETA apostle, but rather from some guy who spotted me and mused "well, at least ONE of my hunting licenses must cover that…"

So, how about this alternative, from USA Kilts (obviously not antique, and I think made in the USA)?
