"Flash of color" in pleating to the stripe

[KiltShot]

I have worn trowsers or shorts all my life so I am familiar with pockets. If I never had pockets then I suppose I would be more familiar with wearing a sporran.
Can't a sporran be an option?
It makes sense in my world.

With the exception of utilikilt type things, sporrans with kilts are not really considered optional. I realise this could be an unwanted debate- but the kilts you describe are more or less traditional (tartan, pleated etc.). It necessitates the use of a sporran. (at least for a man).

Cheers,

If you'd be interested in a contemporary kilt---one which looks like a traditional one but is constructed differently, and has pockets---I'd suggest that you talk to The Wizard of BC, s.k.a. Steve of Freedom Kilts.

Look at Panache's FK in this posting Extremes of Freedom Kilts: A Double Review. Steve himself has a similar Isle of Skye FK, and you'd be amazed at how much the pockets will hold: more than any of my sporrans!

May I respectfully request that we don't hijack this thread with a long discussion of pockets vs. no pockets in kilts? There's lots elsewhere on the forum on this topic. I apologize for starting the comments by replying to the post that mentioned pockets....my bad.
