Sporran-Phobes Unite!

[Roan Carter]

Chase, I often feel the same way as you do. I tend to buy sporrans that are really subtle and simple for this reason. When I first started wearing a kilt, I didn't wear a sporran at all. These days I prefer to have one for the convenience of its functions, but I'm certain that anyone who looks at my outfit in this small town won't understand what it is. I apply velcro to the backs of the three tassells so that they don't make any noise bouncing around when I walk. I really don't want that thing drawing anymore attention.

Also, for whatever reason, my sporrans are the first things to fall apart. I've had two of them break in various ways. I'm pretty tired of that. I shouldn't shop on ebay for sporrans ...

There are several kiltmakers who will put pockets in your kilt if you ask them. I know that sport kilts and freedom kilts do this. Also, it can't be too terribly hard to make them yourself.
