sporran placement!

[auld argonian]

...ice 'em down and get back in there!

Seriously, I'm a proponent of wearing auxilliary belt pouches to take up some of the weight...it's just that we seem to carry too much stuff now...I can't be rummaging around trying to get the cell phone out before the other party hangs up...that Stillwater cargo sporran looks a bit better organized than most so I'm sure that I'll grab one soon. I think that it's better to distribute the weight and keep somethings seperate so that they're not banging against one another in the sporran.

...I hope that your injury didn't interfere with any apres-prom plans.

Thompson recommends one hand from the navel, others say one hand from the bottom of the kilt belt (i.e. about a hand and a half)(which I think is about right). If you're dancing, shift the sporran round onto your left hip.

I'm with AA,

Been looking for some belt pouches...figure they're made for police duty belts in all sorts of sizes. Would like maybe two, one on each side.

My favorite sporran placement is in my dresser drawer so I can wear a vest with pockets for my stuff, or wear a kilt with pockets.

Understand you were at a formal gig though.

If you had your sporran on a sporran strap or (gag) chain, you can spin it to one side, out of the way.

Sometimes I think what keeps more men from kilting up is the dreaded sporran.

apres-prom...no comment...but I have been looking at some belt pouches. I like some of 'em, but I prefer the look of the sporran...I do feel better today though as I am not sore anymore, I need to find a good sporran with a well fitting strap, perhaps i'll go to a scottish store to try one on and get a good fit. I still have a feeling that it is the constant dancing and moving around for a few hours, but then again, it might be the sporran weight issue...who knows, i'll ave to test it out ;)

aloha, I just wore my very unique kilted outfit to Prom last night. I danced and walked around until from 8pm to 3am and then went out for an early morning dinner; about halfway through the sporran package was hurting my package!
Ouch it hurts! I had a two cameras and a money clip and id cards etc inside, so I don't think it was that heavy...mabye I am wearing it wrong...

What is the correct placement for the sporran?

It's like riding a bike. If you ride one for long enough, soon your butt stops hurting

I was dancing for about 3 hours, so it might be the weight over the amount of time that was making it painful or perhaps it was too low.

Maybe the dancing was the problem. Traditionaly, when you are dancing the sporran is moved over to rest on your hip so it dosen't come between you and your date.

You beat me to it, Ruanaidh. Whenever dancing one-to-one with your partner in your arms, the sporran should be moved round to your left hip. This is done out of respect for your partner, if not for your bits-and-pieces!

...hmmm I never knew that! Thanks for the tip, next time I go dancing in the kilt I will definetly remeber that...broken bits-n-pieces are not fun at all

Thanks for the link Motorman! That was pretty funny to read, but is a much better approach to kilt checks than I have seen.
