Black Argyle & sporran?

[Cawdorian]

The black sporran will be perfectly appropriate to wear with your Kilt and Black Argyle Jacket, the Argyle Jacket is cut away at the bottom to allow your sporran to be properly displayed.

good call, the rest are right too. According to Geoffrey(tailor), you've entered the level of formality that has the two go together. My personal opinion is the sporran separates us from Miss Marple.

Ditto all of the above but I'll add that I was always taught never to put anything of substance in my coat pockets or they bulge and look unsightly, thus the sporran becomes more neccessary for things like keys.

Ah, but the beauty of the Argyll, as Dave noted is the abundance of pockets.

That and the fact that the company sent a driver. So no keys, cell phone, essentially I only needed my money clip.

Thanks for the help. It was a beautiful afternoon.

Sorry I am too late catching your thread here, David. However, it might help you in the future to be aware that an Argyll jacket is really a semi-formal jacket and, especially in black, is ideal for weddings and semi-formal afternoon functions. It therefore requires a sporran, and your choice of a black leather one was perfect (in the evening you might go for something a little more 'dressy').

It is not a bad rule of thumb to bear in mind that a tartan kilt always looks best with a sporran (unlike many contemporary, plain kilts which look dreadful with them!) UNLESS, that is, you are otherwise dressing really casually - say, with an arran sweater/polo shirt/T-shirt or similar, boots and folded-down hose. I very often do not wear a sporran when dressed that casually, and that is really the only time when the sporran is not obligatory - with a tartan kilt. Of course, I am looking at this matter from the aesthetic angle rather than any 'rules and regulations' one .......... and ,as we all know, there ARE no rules! ;)

Hamish, do you really think plain kilts look dreadful with a sporran?
Since I am aquiring more plain kilts, this is something I need to know!!
