Irish Kilt?

[kiltbook]

I did notice, though, the lack of sporrans, which seems to be prevalent with the Irish kilt-wearing style of that era.

Great eye, Tobus, I was taught that wearing a sporran defiles Irish cloth, and that the cloth represents one's Irish blood and ancestry. Saffron and green being Irish cloth. However, after spending time online and on this forum I now know that this is an archaic view. I have purchased a black leather sporran on a silver chain strap, but the things we are taught when we are young are often difficult to part with when we are old. I have worn the sporran with my solid black kilt, but I have NEVER worn it with my solid green kilt for fear that I may defile the cloth.

The prohibition does not apply to Irish tartan kilts, like Irish National, etc., because they are not true Irish cloth.

I know all of this seems stupid to some. Maybe one day I will have enough courage to wear the sporran with any cloth like other kilties.
