This was not a sporran theme that interested me, so I didn't post a response for myself. What changed my mind about posting is that this may be the way to get my nephew to cross the bridge and get a kilt. I'll pass this on to him and see if he finally caves in.
With permission, I'd like to pass on the pics to my borderline nephew!

Absolutely, feel free to pass them along.
Those of you that are more traditional may not always dig, or approve of my style and choices.
Remember, I don't have a Scottish heritage. Mine is mostly German.
I wear the kilts because I love the look and they are so comfortable.
I tend to bend the rules a bit and make and wear stuff that I think looks cool.
It turns out a lot of the stuff I do tends to appeal to younger folks.
So what the heck, if that is what it takes to get a youngster interested, I say it is a great place to start....

As a traditionalist, I must admit that I don't find this idea personally appealing. But I wear Highland attire in the traditional manner in tribute to my Scottish heritage and for myself. I am not interested in converting the masses, I am interested in preserving traditions and customs and promoting the contributions of the Scottish diaspora.
As long is there is mutual respect, then wear what you like.

Oh absolutely! I think anyone that wears a kilt, even if only the modern versions like me, should have respect for where it came from.
I have enough friends with Scottish ancestry that I find it very interesting learning the history and the culture.
I think it is awesome if you have a tie to a clan or sect that you learn what you can about it and honor it by wearing an appropriate tartan.
I know I certainly would if I had that tie.
I know there are plenty out there like you Todd that prefer the traditional.
I guess that was my point that I hope you aren't offended by those of us that wear the modern versions and know that we (or at least I) definitely appreciate the culture and history from which it came.

No worries; you didn't offend me in the slightest. As I said before, this style of sporran decoration isn't my thing, but I'm not going to say someone is wrong for liking it.
My problem is when some people (not you, btw) paint traditionalists as intolerant/mean/etc. when we offer a more traditional view of Highland attire.
Regards,
Todd
