Right on ...I like this thread.

I dunno what it is, but I'd prefer to wear a hair sporran if I can get away with it. About the only place I maybe wouldn't wear one is playing in solo competition, and obviously band stuff since there's a uniform...but otherwise, it'll be the hair sporran.

From the designs I've seen recently, there are plenty of possibilities for this style of sporran without looking like you're wearing a band uniform or wearing military dress.

I dunno what I'd do, without this forum ...

Question...if a guy wanted to provide his own cantle, what features would be necessary in order to add pouch, hair & tassels?

A more important question...where did the idea come from, that hair sporrans need to be above or at the bottom of the kilt? Plenty of those old photos show longer sporrans.
