Sporran-Phobes Unite!

Great thread folks! I for one feel naked without a sporran. It is functional in many ways to me. I can carry things there. Wallet, knife, etc. Also it serves to conceal uh... anatomy. I also find it helps prevent any flashing incidents, keeping the kilt held down.

My wife does call it my man-purse, but heck who cares. Purse, like skirt, when defined are actually pretty accurate as far as descriptions of sporran, and kilt respectively.

My two cents.....

A man-purse for a man-skirt.

I too suffer from the dread sporranophobia. In my case it is that I don't like all my stuff just dumped into one bag where I have to fish for it. I also dislike that most sporran have the storage capacity of a chewing gum wrapper.

This is why I invented my kilts. But I fully understand not everyone likes my kilts.

The only time I wear a sporran is when I am wearing a Traditional Style Kilt without pockets. (yes, I actually own a Tank) Or when I;m wearing one of my Tartan Model Kilts. And with my kilts nothing but my wallet is in the sporran. Everything else I carry is in the pockets.

I actually believe that sporrans are the evil invention of a Traditional Kiltmaker who had a brother-in-law who needed a job. So the kiltmaker invented the sporran because his wife told him he had to hire her brother.
Then the kiltmaker left the pockets out of his kilts so his B-I-L would finally stay employed for once.

So I say to all you kilted gentlemen with sporrans, Throw them away. Release the rest of us from your incessant tassel drumming. End the tyranny of sporran slavery. That bum brother-in-law doesn't really want to work anyway. He would rather be sitting on the couch letting the Government buy his beer.

I for one do not like your kilts, however I do enjoy your pockets (well my pockets, I've had my hand in Steve's pockets). So a freedom Kilt is merely a delivery device for those wonderful FK slash pockets. In my desert camo FK I'll go without a sporran (yet are not truly comfortable with it) but if I ever get an FK in HBC tartan I most definatly would wear a sporran (beaver, of course) regardless of how many pockets it has just because it looks right and for the mosesty it provides.
