    Day Sporran?



    Would this Hip Pouch be a good alternative as a day sporran?

    Will it FUNCTION as a Sporran? Yes. Will it LOOK GOOD as a Sporran for traditional dress? Not in my opinion. It might work O.K. for a Utilikilt or the like. You wouldn't catch me wearing that fanny pack.

    Why not? It looks nice, seems to hold alot of stuff, I think it'll make a good day sporran.

    I already have a few traditional sporrans and I am looking something to wear that is not traditional and functional at the sametime.

    It looks good to me, I'd wear it. Have you seen the new Stillwater Sporran?

    I say go for it Raphael, you can always return it if it doesn't work out. Personally I think it would look great with several contemporary styls.

    I think it would look awful on a kilt. The only important thing, however, is if YOU like it.

    I've always liked the plain military leather sporran for day wear.

    They've got them with or without tassels as well. Black and brown.

    Very nice and very simple.

    Now, as for the fanny pack mentioned below, I wouldn't wear it with a traditional kilt. It just wouldn't look right. Kind of like wearing sneakers with a suit.
