    White Sporran?

    You KNOW I gotta be olde when I start thinking like this. Arizona, Florida, maybe even California are flooded with olde birds who wear white shoes and slacks/bermuda shorts with white belts. Think Jimmy Buffet calls them "Condo Commandos."

    So, I got to wondering if that "look" would work with kilts? At least at the level of a white sporran (does such an item even exist??) and white shoes with a kilt.

    Found an old pic with my USA Kilts semi-trad in Dress Gordon tartan with white shoes. Don't have photo shop so tried to get the effect with Paint.



    Hope I'm not making anyone too ill.....

    God help me and take me to the olde folks home....I think it might kinda maybe work....

    Here is my friend Cory when he was with Hunting McLeod notice the Black and White Yin Yang Sporran


    And my friend Mark from the band The Seasick Sailors is wearing my white dress sporran.


    Why wouldn't it work? Especially if you pull it into the outfit somehow, white garter ties, a white stripe in your tartan etc.

    Who'd have thunk it? Is this a great board or what? Condo Commando look it is.

    Where's Jerry? Can I get one of them Nightstalker sporrans made up in white leather please - with a white leather strap.

    Hope this doesn't mean I'll have to learn to play golf...

    Here's a white full-mask sporran I saw on eBay, but didn't have enough guts to buy it.

    Officers of the Royal Highland Regiment, The Black Watch, used to wear a white sporran and sporran belt with their No. 1 uniforms.

    That and keep an eye out for the Condo Btn., 65th Reg. Kilt Inspectors...
    some say tradition dictates those sporrans to be worn only with the "Leisure Kilt" (comes in teal, coral or the AARP Commemorative 'Early Bird' Tartan).

    You guys crack me up!! What a great way to start the day.

    Where's Mr. Ashton...do them Dress Freedom Kilts come in teal with a white leather sporran? A new fashion trend to replace the Pink Death kilts.
