Wearing the kilt without a sporran

[PneumoniaHawk]

Thanks a lot for all the feedback guys - and I have to agree that I feel a sporran makes tartan kilt look proper / but for the sake of partying down with The Real MacKenzies I'll go with out it - plus i have this real nice biker jacket ( like the Ramones) that has a wackload of pockets that I'll be wearing should go nicely with it. again thanks a lot for all the help guys

I personally have 2 different belt pouches that I wear. They attach directly to the belt, the hang at my side, and they stay out of my way. I have a desk job. Having a sporran in front of me when I'm at my desk is just plain annoying. So I say, don't worry about it. Wear a normal kilt belt, though- that's what I personally never go without.

I have a black nylon belt pouch as well that I wear with my Stillwater kilts. I don't like the idea of a sporran. I also try to avoid leather products. I also don't want something loose threatening to bang into sensitive parts if I need to run from point A to point B...

Take a look at these threads for kilts with and without sporrans:

As you can se most people wear sporran with there tartan kilt.
When doing athletics in the kilt, I prefere to go kilted without sporran.

I don't own a day sporran/casual sporran. I would like a nicer one a la wyvern leather. Until I save up, I either go without or I wear a "fanny pack."
That's for my Black Stewart SWK and my MacGregor SportKilt.

Unless you are competing at Highland Games where it would be in the way I think a sporran should always be worn with a tartan kilt some of the modern kilt like things have pockets so do not need a sporran

I know-all the other kids are doing it.

But if all the other kids were jumping off bridges, would you jum off a bridge? Or play in the traffic? Or run with a pair of scissors in your hand?

I think not! And it would be remiss of us to let you go out without a sporran, or at least a fanny pack worn in the front.

All the kids are doing it. You know you want to. But just say no!

You'll thank me for this some day.

Personally, I cannot wear a kilt without a sporran. To me it just doesn't look right and then I don't FEEL right (I guess it's all about "feelings"!!). Anyway, that's my twa shillings for what it's worth.

Another real useful function of the sporran is that when the wind is gusting (as it is wont to do here in the Windy City), the sporran helps protect one's 'bits and pieces' from unexpected exposure.
