A new way to wear a sporran

[bunchdescendant]

Ron,

Next you will be advocating the Pancho Villa bandalero sporran, three, four even six on a side! Burros, I don't need no burros, I got sporrans!

How about putting 5 or 6 on a wide belt and wearing it like a bandoleer?

I wouldn't wear a dress sporran with pants, but the simple day sporrans can go with jeans etc.

I started because I don't like having a wallet in my pockets when sitting; same for other things. I have been told that it goes with an American South West outfit well. Kind of a country look I guess.

I used to wear my first sporran like that as well, and I found it quite handy.

It's the same fundtion as a fanny pack, only a good sporran costs a lot more that a decent fanny pack, so I went out and bought a fanny pack which I used for quite a while.

I still wear one or the other occassionally, but wearing it kind of makes it look like you're carrying a concealed weapon, so I don't do it so much anymore. I don't like to advertise if I am packing heat.

I wore mine that way only on the left hip several times since I got it. It is just too handy to have my wallet and keys right there. My wallet has actually caused me pains in my hip by adding pressure to the nerves there. Used it all weekend during my 5 hour driving trek to Hersey, PA and back, felt great!

And another on the other side for a "Two Gun" look and more storage space.

That would be awesome!

Was the sporran a hanger for the Saltire as it's now landed in Germany?

No way! I carried the Saltire in an inside pocket of my jacket, with a velcro closer to ensure its safety. I felt a great weight of responsibility while the Saltire was in my care.

Today I sent it off on a new journey. I'll let the new caretaker announce its arrival.

Here are samples of me wearing the "sporran" on the "side"

As I said, most of my sporrans can be worn hung from the "main belt"



Here are pictures of me wearing it,
With the KILT ( often I wear a jacket or coat that wearing my sporran "traditionally" is not practical.
With TREWS

Whilst in Scotland two years ago I used my all-nylon cargo sporran every day, kilted or panted. Hung it right up front when wearing jeans...handy and safe.

In the movie of Brigadoon some of the cast wore sporrans with trews but still in the usual position.

NO reason why one can't be worn to the side like a belted purse though.

And good to see the :blimp: enjoying it's reisen
