    FK now offers an Under-Apron Pocket Option on all our kilts. It is sized to hold a blackberry or your passport when traveling. Fastened with a small piece of velcro, I think this is becoming my favorite pocket. No cell phone hanging off your belt, you can access it while sitting in the car with the seat belt on and you can always put the phone on vibrate and tell your wife to call you.

    Steve!

    I love it when I have my cell phone in my pocket and Panache calls (I always feel very guilty when it's someone else though! ).

    Be well,

    I'm going to like that pocket.

    One question though, do you carry the phone in that pocket while walking around? Just how "easy access" is it? I don't really want to look like I'm sitting there groping myself. Well, at least not for a long period of time.

    It takes about 2 seconds to get my cell phone out. Two rings max. If you angle the pocket towards the open apron edge it is so quick most people don't even notice you reaching under the apron.

    And I would dare a pickpocket to get my passport out of that pocket. Even if he knew where it was.

    If anyone questions you about reaching under there just show them your phone and say "See, it's my phone. and it's on vibrate. call me." That always gets a chuckle. Or a knowing smile.

    If it is no big thing to you, most people take no notice. However I have had women ask for my number just to call by bluff. So I give them my card with the number and tell them that if they call me we will have to get married.

    Light honest humor goes a long way when kilted.

    You can also tell people that that is your "Anti wind gust modesty protection system."

    So, I take it that the under apron pockets on your designs are all angled to the open apron edge?

    And, I don't think I could tell them that we'd have to get married (since I just did get married! ) , but I may tell them to let it ring a few times in case I'm a bit tied up.

    Pocket?

    Please don't.

    If the sporran bothers you up front - wear it on the side...

    First, thanks for the welcome in the newbie forum and thanks for the reply.

    Second, what about those of us kilt newbies that grew up with the brain stain of fanny packs on overweight old men and just aren't fans of the sporran?

    I'm finding that I slide my sporran over more and more... and sometimes I just leave it there.
