When TO and when NOT to wear a sporran?

[Galb]

I always wear a sporran for two reasons...

1. Looks good, and in my opinion the kilt looks almost incomplete without it.

and 2. It is a nice guard against wind.

Always, no excuse not to, except on ops

Always wear it unless either loafing around the house, or doing heavy events at the games.

[Dr Mac]

Agree with Casper...

[Carolina Kiltman]

I vote with Caspar and Dr.Mac. Even for country dancing, I keep it on, I just leave the heavy stuff in my bonnet.

No sporran with a sport kilt. You're either working, running or throwing things and the sporran becomes an irritant. No sporran while water skiing (yes, some people do water ski in a kilt). I have a casual sporran and a formal sporran, but I always wear a sporran.

Not around the house, generally. I wear it to work but leave it off after I get there. I sit so much that it tends to *weigh* on the apron, and reduces air circulation to the relevant parts.

I do what feels practical. This is not a uniform, it's clothing and accessories.

[Cassidy]

I don't wear one in the ring or when lounging about the house, but pretty much any other time I'm wearing a sporran.

[Mark Keeney]

Don't wear a sporran with pants!

Don't wear a sporran with pants!

There's an exception to every exception. I sometimes wear a sporran with shorts or troosers, especially if I'm not wearing my 22-pocket utility vest!
