    Unless I am dressing up for a formal, semi-formal or smart-casual event, when a sporran would be part of the 'outfit', or I am casually dressed but without any other garment with pockets, I do not wear a sporran! Except in the case of some kilted 'uniforms', the sporran is nothing more than a decorative pocket and, if I do not need it I do not wear it.

    As far as Utilikilts are concerned: all my eleven Utilikilts except the solid leather one, have ample and capacious pockets rendering a sporran totally unnecessary.

    No, I like to wear a sporran when custom or necessity dictates that I should. Otherwise - forget it!

    Thanks, Hamish. I knew I could rely on the Kilted Legend to provide some insight! ;)

    I wear the UtiliKilt for construction and working situations usually, so a sporran isn't really needed.

    With that being said... when I'm at a Scottish or Irish festival, I'll wear a sporran just for grins. There's nothing in it... but it's there for looks only.
    Arise. Kill. Eat.
