Hey, all.

I'm a new kilt owner, having recently acquired a complete formal kit in advance of my upcoming wedding. I have been doing a good deal of reading on highland garb, but I have nevertheless a few sporran issues on which I would like to get some advice.

1. What is a good guideline for determining the proper positioning of the sporran? Can it be said with any consistency that one's sporran should hang x inches below one's belt or x inches from the top of one's kilt, or from some other point of reference?

2. Is it considered a major mismatch to wear a fur sporran informally? I known day sporrans and semi-dress sporrans are more acceptable for such settings, but have a few informal events to go to before I am likely to get a chance to go shopping for one of those.

Thanks for the comments!
