Day Sporran?

[James]

I think it is Scotweb who do excellent sporrans designed to be worn at the side-very practical for day wear-driving etc & very roomy.

I think they took the design from a picture purporting to be Rob Roy-but I'd no swear to that.

I by the way have been wearing a side sporran for day wear for some years now-and think it ideal for comfort, convenience and pure practicality.

I believe that sporrans were originally worn on the hip and the dirk was worn in the front of the kilt. In Victorian times the sporran was moved to the front. Victorian modesty. Modern usage has made wearing the sporran in the front the "correct" way to wear it, but it's not the only option. I'm less enthusiastic about a fanny-back sort of thing with a kilt, but that's personal preference. There's no reason it wouldn't work.

Personally, I'm not enamored with that extra pocket sticking out on the front, but if it works for you, go for it.

I've taken to wearing my Freelander on the side, Therefore, it's not in the "traditional" spot, but it works for me, and that's what's important.

I think, if you've already broken with tradition by wearing a contemporary kilt, ...or a modern shirt, ...or athletic shoes or boots, ...etc., then it's perfectly fine to adapt something else to your style as well.

Keep in mind, that if you leave it loose, so that it hangs at the "proper" level in front, that it likely won't hang flat. You may have to cinch it up or swing it around to the hip anyway.
