When you have too much stuff for a sporran
Most sporrans will hold about as much stuff as you can fit in the front pocket of your jeans. I don't like to wear or see a sporran bulging at the seams. What solutions are there when you need to carry phone, wallet, keys, inhaler, camera, reed scraping tools, tuner, "Greatest Hits of Elvis, vol. 1", etc., etc.?
Minimalist wallets can help save some space, but I see people wearing kilts with a synthetic back pack slung over their shoulder. It makes me cringe. It is almost as bad as wearing a baseball cap with a kilt. If you're going to spend that much money on an kilted outfit why ruin the look with a cheap back pack (or baseball cap)?
I have my own ideas, but would like to hear from others to see where the conversation might go.
What are your thoughts?

If it’s a dressier event, you have jacket pockets. You can also learn to leave some stuff at home. Finally, there’s a thing called a “Piper’s Pouch” that hangs neatly on your belt.
Of the three, I prefer the seond choice.

I can't say I've had too big of a problem with sporran space when I'm wearing a tartan kilt. When I need more space is usually when I wear a utility kilt, and the clip-on side pockets are great for holding screws, tape measures, screwdrivers, wrenches, etc. That said, were I to need more space in a tartan kilt context, I would think the same general concept of a clip-on pouch would work well, and can be easily detached when not needed.

That's exactly what I was referring to. L & M makes them in several sizes and styles shown here and listed in Canadian dollars: https://www.landmhighland.ca/ecommer...ct,p_sku,page/

Freedom Kilts, in their bricks-n-mortar days, carried an excellent sporran that carried pretty well everything you list. Perhaps Steve will chime in here.
In the meanwhile: wallet, mobile, coin purse are all I carry in my sporran. Handkerchief (and sometimes the mobile and coins) in my jacket pockets. Keys tucked into the kilt waistband.
