your opinions on kilt belt and sporran

[warwick]

Thanks for the comments.

The kilt is a stillwater economy, I cut the straps and buckles off, I use two stillwater "military" kilt pins instead.

The belt is a standard US military pistol belt $15

The sporran belt is a "mini" pistol belt. I think its more of a fashion belt because its not well made and not very practical. $5

The sporran is a "knock off" utility pouch $5

The buckle was a silver kilt buckle and I painted it flat black, can't remember where I got it or for how much ($20?)

Anyway the belt, the buckle and the sporran belt felt good when I put them on, the sporran did feal a bit narrow and long. However I have never worn a sporran before so I wasn't sure if it was something I had to get use to, but for $5 I'll wear it and see if I like it if not I'm not out that much cash.

PS I'd give reasons but they sound petty. Did you want reasons?

Yes Archangel i would be interested in your reasons

Darn.

Okay, my eye is really bothering me right now so forgive if I get too grumpy. I really believe it's your call.

It does look like a knock off utility pouch, and more like a purse made to adapt. It doesn't have that "masculine" look, whatever that means. (I'm not comparing it to the formal horse-hair, or evening heavy metal cantle ones. I figure you're looking for a casual day sporran.)

My guess is that it would interfere with your walk and the way the kilt looked while walking. You'd probably have a hard time getting it comfortable while sitting if you had normal amount of stuff in it.

You said you hadn't worn a sporran before. I think you'll find once you start wearing one there's a reason they evolved wider rather than longer.

In my search for the perfect sporran, I wore a fanny pack low for awhile, but I couldn't find quite the right one. One of our UK rabble wears one happily. I've had two formal sporrans and eventually settled on R-Kilts, but that's not what you asked. I'm just giving you my frame of reference.

It's still your call. About the only clothing I draw the line at for walking with you would be, well, nothing , or "I'm with stupid" shirts. You're on your own there.
