Sporran as a "Fannypack?"

**Riverkilt** · 15th July 09, 07:10 AM

Have seen posts about using a fanny pack as a sporran of sorts while kilted.

Got to wondering if anyone wears their sporran with shorts or pantz as a sort of fannypack? Worn on the front of course, not as a true fannypack.

Sure, it'd look "different"....but seems it would be functional. Why buy a fannypack if you own a bunch of sporrans?

Most fannypacks are pretty plain looking....sporran would class up that special fannypack look.

Would at least lend a bit of a Scottish look to someone who wasn't wearing a kilt.

Fanny conjures up quite different connotations on this side of the pond.

If I'm not kilted, I've got pockets. And for my kilts with pockets, I forgo the sporran.

Ron I've never worn a sporran as a fanny pack.

More important - why buy shorts if you own a bunch of kilts!!

Gotta love how those words take on whole new meanings, a complete reversal so to speak!

that one I don't get it's origin!

I would feel, just me, like it would look as though I didn't know how to wear it properly, but then did you mean wearing it as a fanny pack with or without the kilt?

Seems like you would feel you either had a tail, horsehair, or it would be constantly slapping you in the bum!

I'm the only person (other than the rare occasion my cousin wore his USAK) I've ever seen wearing a kilt in my town. I would venture to bet that the overwhelming majority of the residents here wouldn't have a clue what a sporran is, much less own one. BUT, about a year ago I was in the book store when I caught sight of a guy wearing a semi-formal sporran (this style) with his jeans. I have to say: it looked completely ridiculous. I understand the desire to be "functional." But, I think there are far better ways to do so while in pants.
