low sporrans !

[Nighthawk]

I wear mine over my... bits and pieces. That way, if a stiff wind blows up, I don't have any problems with my dignity.

And in truth, I don't wear one very often. I have a black leather belt pouch that I wear instead. Sporrans tend to get in the way in my experience.

Okay, so I'm not alone in wearing the sporran "down there". But, what's this about a belt pouch? Does that help preserve dignity? Maybe I'm just picturing it all wrong in my head.

I've seen soldiers move sporrans over to the (usually right) side when they had to get them out of the way. I think that's where snare drummers have them when playing. I think that's also what the guys did who were doing run-ups on the live fire range, before we changed to combats with trousers.

Of course, I've seen plenty of pictures of Highland troops with nary a sporran in sight - they weren't adverse to take it off if it got in the way too!
