First Post. Nice to be here. I decided to order a kilt etc. for my soon to be upcoming 30th b-day. (scary) I have never worn a kilt before but decided to take the plunge as I've always wanted one but never had the money. However, I am finally done with school and have a job. The sporran I ordered arrived today. I've moved the sporran in a few different positions but nothing seems "better" than anything else. I was wondering if anyone has some rough guidelines on how far down to hang your sporran. Thanks.
First off, welcome. With a traditional kilt I wear it a hand width below the top. When I'm wearing a belt it's a finger width or two below the belt.
You're done with school and have a job? How did you manage that? Could you please tell my son how you did it? Welcome to the forum...you don't have to be crazy to post here but it helps. Best AA
I wear mine roughly over Mr. Happy. Any lower and it look weird, any higher and it look weird. I haven't experienced any discomfort issues, either.
Welcome! I have more than a couple books that state it should be aprox one hand width below the belt. Now without a belt, or with a high waist... hmmmm.
Wear it high enough so it doesn't bounce on your thighs as you walk.
There was some discussion here about it as well: http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/s...ad.php?t=14887 -ian
Welcome!
Welcome to the forum, Cinnabar. Hope you have fun here. Interesting moniker... does that relate to the ore or the moth? Cheers, blu
Thanks for the warm welcome and the advice. I started playing around with my sporran a little more and found that I generally have it too low (feel better higher). I may have to make some adjustments to the sporran and I'm fairly thin and it is made to accommodate men far larger than I. As for the moniker, I'm a research scientist and study mercury. Anyway, glad to be here and thanks for the gentle responses for the newbie (i.e., me).
