    I'm sorry.
    As you all know by now I'm a sporran junkie. I feel undressed in the kilt if I don't have a sporran.The Sporran is to me what makes the kilt a kilt(That and 8yards of wool). My wife says that if I don't wear the sporran then it would look too skirty.

    I don't want to get into an argument about it.
    If you don't want to wear one thats fine by me. I don't feel I'm in a costume when wearing a sporran.It's just a practical accsesory to have with you in the town,or in the woods. I usually have it to the side while hillwalking.

    What can I say I'm a sporran kind of guy

    First USA Kilt

    This is a poor photo, took it with my phone, but it's my eldest son Daniel in his new USA kilt, he loves wearing it everywhere, he has no hesitation or embarrassment - nothing like I, and many of us here, went through!

    Ah, the Sporran King speaks!

    You're perfectly correct, Daniel is wearing my sporran. I had an identical one made for him tho'.
    I did offer to buy him one of yours but he just liked a simple plain one.

    As other fathers have expressed here - it's a proud moment to see a son really enjoy wearing the kilt.

    Right now he's on a 7 day hike in the Tassie highlands, I believe he took his kilt.

    Hope this question doesn't shock!
    Does he ever go without a sporran?

    I know some think its a sin against the kilt to go without a sporran. Sometimes, I just don't feel like wearing it. But I have to admit, it helps hold down the kilt in the breeze.

    But that is a nice picture. I am glad that he doesn't have the problems some of us "youth-challenged" types do/did!

    If Don Hamish goes without a sporran sometimes, you should not worry about going out without one.

    btw, Graham, your son looks great in his new kilt.

    I always wear a sporran. I need someplace to keep my wallet, keys and other junk and a sporran is a much more secure place than a jacket pocket.

    Graham,

    Daniel looks great!!

    My hat is off to him for being so confident so quickly about being kilted, maybe he saw all the good comments his "old man" got so it made it easier for him.

    Let's see two more sons to get kilted, huh? Wouldn't that be a great sight Graham and his kilted three sons

    And just as well, for several of us, that you are, David! If you weren't I, for one, would not be the proud owner of a superb and unique sporran!

    ............. I don't feel I'm in a costume when wearing a sporran. ................
    Nor do I, David, but I might if I was obligated to wear one just because I was wearing a kilt!

    What can I say I'm a sporran kind of guy
    That's good! We should all be ourselves!

    Great to see the kilting tradition being passed on to the next generation.
