tartan casual kilt: no belt no sporran?

[Blu (Ontario)]

I'm not sure I'd wear a kilt without a sporran .. or a belt. I think it's more because I don't really like the look of a bare kilt - I think the sporran and belt really put the whole package together.

A few weeks ago, I went out to dinner with my wife and in-laws. Just as we were leaving, my wife snapped this photo with one of those cheap disposable cameras. Argyll, turtleneck sweater, Xmarx kilt, kilt belt, heritage hose, wingtips..... no sporran.



Nothing but compliments, including one from an ex-pat Scot.

Nice (little) photo, Blu.
It would have been a shame to cover up that fine tartan with a sporran -- which half the readers would have found too high, and the other half too low, anyway.

I, too, am quite anti sporran and wear one only when I know I'll want to take my jacket off but prefer to keep my wallet handy.

Too often we see kilts pushed out of shape with a poorly hung sporran.
