Adding 'hidden' pocket?

Yep, very similar to that. My other tank, made in Scotland, doesn't have it.

You multi-pocket kilt wearers make me jealous.

The under-apron pocket looks promising. All I ever carry is keys, money/card clip, cigarettes, and lighter.

If the pocket(s) is close enough to the center of the body, would carrying these things produce a ...um... grotesque appearance? Considering you guys say they're not worth more than small paper holders.

Or would I just get more questions about "what's under there?".

Bradley, when I saw your first post of that kilt the pocket was puzzling to me. My F.K. has something like that for a PDA or IPOD, seems not quite right on a piper's kilt.

THen I read "The Art of Kiltmaking". Do you think it is possible that the pocket on that piper's kilt was used by the kiltmaker to hold the record sheet? (measurements, customer, style, number of pleats, taper, etc)

Just wondering.

Let me see if I have this right.

First - you put a pocket on the under apron.
Second - you put your cell phone, on vibrate, in the pocket.
Third - you get a T-shirt with your cell phone number in BIG letters and call me printed on it.
Fourth - you head to the mall or other people pack venue.
Fifth - you smile a lot.

Do I have this process correct?

One reason I like this hidden pocket would be to stash away some small items such as driver's license and maybe a credit card. Sporrans look to be incredibly easy to make off with. At least , they do to me...

What do you mean make off with? Do you mean, "Easy for someone to steal from?"

I guess it would be "easier" for someone to steal from a sporran as opposed to a pocket, but I welcome the idiot that is dumb enough to try and steal from me.

Not so much "steal from" as to simply "steal" as in the whole bloody thing. I might feel differently if I had my sporran on a chain or hanging from a large belt, but mine is attached to a relatively thin leather strap. I guess I just need to figure out a better way of wearin' it.

My theory is the kilt is from British design. British troops regularly carried their paybook. I don't if that practice still goes on or if and when it was stopped. Anyway, the pocket is about that size. I wouldn't use it for anything other than paper.
