4. They no longer serve even their intended purpose, as nowadays everyone is pinning the left apron to nothing.
5. They pull focus down and to the left from the perspective of the observer, disrupting the balance and symmetry of the figure and depleting visual interest in the sporran and kilt.
Other than that, they’re great!
