cellphonian dubh?

[James MacMillan]

My right leg hose almost always has my sgian dubh, and my left almost always has my favorite ball point pen. I have also been known to stick sunglasses, car/truck keys and other things in them. Don't think I ever lost anything from my hose.....?

Some men over here don't wear wedding rings due to their occupation and the hazards of wearing a ring...electricians...surgeons...firefighters...

I like the idea of alternatives to sporrans and have enjoyed the creative ideas on the thread.

Visions of a nice leather pen holder to fit inside the top of my kilt hose. Something to keep me from lancing through the hose with my pens.

I know SportKilt puts a little pocket on the inside apron of their "kilts" but I've never been able to access it when wearing mine. Seems more of a secret hiding place than a functional pocket.

Ok, I am going to briefly go off topic here(sorry to all),but something that MacWage said, in this thread, has made me wonder.Do married men in the USA(anywhere else?) wear a wedding ring, as well as their wives?

Now you have my curiosity up - Isn't it customary for men and women to wear wedding bands in Scotland?

[Howard Clark]

I only wear my wedding ring to go out nice with the wife, or if I am going out of town to a knife show or something else without her. To wear a ring of any sort (or most any kind of "ornamentation") in the bladesmith shop is to invite disaster. Pockets are trouble too if you are all the time making sparks and scale and hot stuff flying about.

I have been known to stash all manner of kit in my hose tops though. Most anything that will fit comfortably. Cell phone is kinda bulky, but it would work if had good socks, and you have need. Which is after all, the way new things get thought up (or sometime the wheel re-invented, witness all the modern "sporran like" waist bags that abound now).

How about using one of those old fashioned plastic pocket protectors. Nerd chic for a kilt

Yea, but the plastic would make your leg sweat............

Some fancy tire gauges, letter openers, etc, come with leather or material sheaths that would suit the purpose.

There seem to be two directions of this thread, one about kit in the hose and another about wedding bands. I suggest storing one's wedding band in your hose to increase the kilt checks.

Ah, but in true Scottish tradition, I married a woman who would hunt down and destroy anybody who did that. Best to behave, you've got to be able to shut your eyes sometime.
