Quality Sporrans for less money

[Father Bill]

First off, my kilt and great kilt are wool. Secondly I don’t wear ‘pirate shirts’. And third, I was just trying to post something I liked as part of something I like, kilts. I guess after several comments in several posts I’ve made here, I’m not as welcome as I originally thought I’d be.

I’ll take the hint and leave the forum.

There are a couple of grouches here, but for the most part what we have is folks trying to help one another look smart and fit into various venues.

Stay, watch and learn, and you may come to enjoy.

I can stay cautiously, I don’t have much time in my life for negativity and condescension. So we’ll see how it goes

I'm saddened to hear you felt disrespected. I don't believe that was OC Richard's intention at all. He's quite the traditionalist, and I think he was simply sharing his personal preferences. It's not that YOU're the type of person to wear acrylic kilts and pirate shirts. But looking at Kommando Kilt's website, THEY sell acrylic kilts, pirate shirts, and "fussy" sporrans. Which unsurprisingly, isn't OC Richard's cup of tea.

For what it's worth, I'm intrigued by the sporran design, and your post prompted me to pick one up I found on eBay. I don't know if I'll be keeping it or passing it on, but I want a closer look.

P.S. To anyone reading this who enjoys acrylic kilts and puffy shirts, I personally encourage you to continue enjoying them. From my perspective, the more the merrier. And sometimes that's the beginning to taking an increased interest in traditional Highland wear (or not!). But, I also GREATLY appreciate the traditionalists helping me to understand what is proper and historical, versus what is Hollywood.

I go to a lot of renfaires and Highland Games, so I definitely appreciate the extra space the super sporran has for keys, wallet, and cellphone. I’ll post a review this weekend after I’ve picked it up, along with the kilt belt and kilt pin
