Just for the record, I always wore the bottom of my kilt right above the top of my knee, and the hose about three or four fingers below my knee.

I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

White goat hair 'John Brown' sporran
This thread pushed me over the edge to order a white goat hair 'John Brown' sporran from Josh at Skye Highlander Outfitters.
Below is the one Josh made for Longhuntr in a black hair. The jonesing has begun!

I love those hair ones!
I used to have one just like this, an old c1900 one, that I bought at a gun show in the 70's:
I added a couple photos to my first post above, old images showing long hair sporrans with day dress:
Recently I've been wearing a vintage horsehair sporran with my Argyll jacket, but the problem is that it isn't any good for holding anything much!
So yesterday I got on Ebay a long goat hair sporran, modern made, that the whole body is one large pocket.
I intend on replacing the modern cantle with my wonderful Celtic Dragon vintage cantle. I'll post photos when I get that done.
