Internal Front Pockets

That would be correct on the sporran. Ok, stupid question, how would I go about contacting AlanH directly?

Well, if you're in the Bay area and you enjoy the occasional drink...

As good as the XKilt is, you might find it a little too casual for the office. Check out Freedom Kilts (link above) there you will find a suitable dressy casual kilt with all the pockets you desire. Unfortunatly they go for a bit more than $25. Having said all this, Alan does include instructions for cargo pockets.

If I understand Alan's intent when he designed the X Kilt, it was to come up with something simple enough that a novice could handle with confidence.

As soon as you start putting in pockets you are getting into the realm of a full blown Contemporary Kilt. Take my word for it, pockets add a whole new element to kiltmaking. To get a pocket to hang correctly without disrupting the swish of the pleats, and to not show unsightly bulges is not an easy thing. It also adds a great deal of time to the process. I usually spend almost as much time on the pockets of my kilts as I do on the kilt itself.

But also, I'm not trying to discourage you from trying, I just want you to understand what you are asking for.

There have been no really good instructions for a pocketed kilt. That is why I am trying to write "The Art of Contemporary Kiltmaking". But I find I am not a writer. I could talk you through the entire process, I just find it hard to write it down.
