Day Sporan After 6:00 PM

[McMurdo]

A day wear sporran is fine after 6:00, if at some point you need another sporran you can always pick it up at a later date, and for now the day wear will work.

I say go for it! Most folks don't observe the formal rules of general dress in society any way (i.e. no white after Labor Day, etc.).

I say go for it! Most folks don't observe the formal rules of general dress in society any way (i.e. no white after Labor Day, etc.).

Other evening rules no one observes:

• A lady should not wear leather shoes in the evening, but only those which might be ruined if she were to step in a puddle, lest she appear to be too poor to afford to ruin her shoes (or that she might be required to step in a puddle).
• Watches should not be worn for evening social events, lest you telegraph the notion that you'd rather be somewhere else.

Or so says Miss Manners (or Emily Post, I forget which).

Since we ignore these rules with impunity, I'm sure no one will chastize you for your faux pas either.

Regards,
Rex.

Hey I just spent $300 on a beaver pelt dress sporran. At that price it'll be my day sporran as well! What's the worst kilt police can do?

. . . What's the worst kilt police can do?

Because they haven't sense enough to laugh, the worst they can do is simmer.

I wouldn't wear the beaver sporran during daytime hours. Not during hunting season at least...

Other evening rules no one observes [etc.]....

An interesting historical note: the tuxedo was originally designed for use in the Tuxedo, NY country club as an informal day jacket (because it has no tails). Now it's the height of fashion. See how things change?

The MacDo's and the MacDont's, if they where to stop and consider the fact that the kilt has been around since the dawn of time in some form or another, and then consider exactly who made these ridiculous so called rules, they would soon realise that the "Rules" where over the years made to the benefit of those that sell highland garb, ie of course a sporran maker/seller would love the day wear / night wear rule, he sells 2 sporrans instead of 1.

Dont be put off by the MacDo's and MacDont's, consider what they say, but use your own logic, Just wear the kilt with pride be your own man.

If I understand what you are saying after 100's or years of kilt wearing, to many years where it was illegal to wear a kilt, the Do's and don't's of kilt wearing were developed by the English? They were developed in an era where those that could afford a kilt outfit normally dressed for dinner. Frequently dressing for dinner meant white tie with a tails jacket.

The style was to dress to impress. Now because of Sir Walter Scott and his romance novels we are being bound by a set of rules that should have only limited application.

Some of this can be seen by requiring an evening sporran after six that will almost hold a pair of opera tickets and a few bills of money.
