Sporrans and 'real' sporrans.

[kiltedwolfman]

Not to thread jack, but I often wonder when and more importantly who made the rules as to what times and purposes you could wear something?

I have very contemporary sporrans, and I wear them to any event at any time I like. I figure I don't have to be a celebrity to get way with breaking the rules.;)

I can't answer your question as to who wrote the rules; though Stuart Ruaidri Erskine, C. R. MacKinnon, J. Charles Thompson, and others have written books on the subject.

I'm all for individuality, but I think there's a fine line between breaking the rules and being ignorant of the rules. Even if you're aware of the rules, if you're excessive in your rule-breaking, you'll appear to simply not know any better. If I wanted to stand out and "bend" the rules, I'd pick one or two rules and break them in a way that is noticeable but not too "loud".
