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.

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!

That's good! We should all be ourselves!

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