UK's and Sporrans

This has been kicked around before...

Oops! Sorry!

My apologies for not using "search".

But, it's nice to know I'm not as crazy as I thought.

I have two Xkilts, no UKs. I haven't put pockets on any of mine or Scooby's and I wear a sporran out with mine all the time.

Xena,

Quite a long while ago Sorcerer Dale asked what a sporran would look like worn with a utilikilt. Though new to kilts and XMTS I obliged him




Let's see...

White hose check

Flat cap check

Western belt buckle check

Flashes with a Utilikilt check

Sporran with a Utilikilt check

End result?



But let's just focus on the sporran.

Modern/Contemporary kilts are their own thing. To me they look best when worn proudly as a Modern/Contemporary kilt. They aren't traditional highland attire and a traditional sporran looks out of place. There is no functional need for it and style-wise they don't work at all.

If for some reason you did need a pouch for additional storage I would suggest getting a utilitarian fanny pack.

Wow, looking at the photo above I am sure glad I had all the good folks from XMTS to learn from and help me find my own look

Cheers

Xena, no need to apologize. I have a long memory for threads that I've read. It can actually be hard to search for past threads where the questions involve UKs since "UK" is too short a word for the internal search feature, and one has to go outside to use google. Searching for Utilikilt and Sporran did pull up these, though.

Actually, Jamie, I think you look fine in that picture. As others have said, the Mocker, with its cleaner lines, most lends itself to the use of a sporran, and I've seen plenty of UK's worn with hose and flashes.

Best regards,

Styling!

...or perhaps an SWK Nightstalker nylon cargo sporran--which is kind of a utility/fanny pack-ish sporran.

I sometimes wear a sporran with my black leather RKilt just to add the menacing black leather and chrome. I'll also occasionally wear a sporran with my 6 pocket camo FK. I always have a sporran on my camo paintball kilt which has slash pockets. Just adds another (although really unneccisary) level of protection from well aimed paintballs. Then again it's attached with the MOLLE system so takes a while to unweave the straps.
