In Texas, they are Cowboy-cut Wranglers pressed with fore-and-aft creases with heavy starch.

Wow. Those sound perfect for my Frankenstein costume this Halloween!

I'm not so sure that the Circle Jerks logo has a kilt in it... maybe more of a tartan rag

At first I was thinking a categorical "no" for sporrans with p@nts...

A few people have mentioned that perhaps something like a nylon Stillwater Nightstalker cargo sporran could work and I'd like to see some pics. I imagine it is possible because that particular product has always looked like a hybrid fanny pack/sporran. Nonetheless, it would look best off to the side as a hip bag, rather than in the traditional sporran position, which could look like too much of a juxtaposition.

Here is the only example I've ever seen of a sporran with p@nts, which I found on a blog (LINK). Yes, the whole outfit looks ridiculous, but I think it was intended as a costume for Boy George's 50th birthday bash. I hope this poor fellow wouldn't wear that in a non-costume situation

p.s. sorry about the links for images. I'm getting an error that says "the linked images are too large," which is unusual because they are small files...

I recall reading about John Lennon wearing a sporran with trousers in a Beatle biography

WOW. He apparently wore that with a frilly shirt and an Afghan coat...

For me, they are Wrangler Style 82 jeans - you can see a pic here http://www.drysdales.com/Mens/Jeans/...ess-Jeans.html. It's the only style I wear and I have them in several colors.

John Lennon rocks it. However, I think I'm gonna take a pass. The Circle Jerks image is more of a rag really. Agreed. I always associated it with a kilt. Was a punk and had friends do the jeans and kilt look. Something about a nice tartan, kilt or otherwise always screamed revolutionary attitude, non-conformist and pride in one's self.
