I am sorry but, as I see it, adding these accessories gives me the impression that you are trying to tell people that, in spite of its looks, you are actually wearing a KILT!"
    Probably a good point, all the advice you have been given not to wear a sporran has come from the Colonies

    I do recommend pockets, just love 'em. I've been kilted since January of this year an the one thing I've missed were pant's pocket. Imagine the look of me kilted in a bar, groping for missing pockets. My FK has hidden front slash pockets and they are a fantastic. Only wish these pockets were availiable on the more traditional styled kilts!

    If the modern casual kilt is far enough removed from a "Scottish" kilt, could not the modern sporran be viewed as the same. I feel that the modern kilt and many of the accessories are an evolvement powered by necessity.
