Re: Sporran alternative?

I'm dying it black and modifying it to fit on a belt properly (the loops were way too small for a good belt). I'll probably wear it off to one side or towards my back next to my multi-tool.
My question is does anybody else have any reccomendations for wallet and keys aside from a sporran? I have nothing against sporrans, but I am looking for something else, perhaps a more modern/casual version that would fit a bit better with the newer styles of kilts out there these days.
Hi Chance!
Belt pouches are absolutely fine with the kilt - provided you are not formally dressed. I have several in black and brown leather, to match the belt I might be wearing. However, they are not best comfortable if worn with a jacket. On the other hand, if you are wearing a jacket with plenty of pocket space, you probably would not have need of anything else. If you can cram all you need to carry into a belt pouch, that's OK for casual wear.
I always wear mine just to the front of my right hip. It's more accessible there and a better security risk in crowded places than it would be towards the back!
