    Why no belt? If you had a belt on I think that the pouch that carries my HTC Touch phone would be about the right size judging by the size of the pump that one of the guys at work has. The pouch is black leather, and I think fits right in with my black kilt belt.

    Despite the general prohibition on discussions centering around modern firearms, I would suggest that you google "holster makers" and have them make you what is referred to as an inside the waistband (IWB) holster for your insulin pump. This will ride comfortably between you and the kilt, be totally discrete, and instantly accessible (just like my cordless remote hole puncher). The cost will also be a 100% tax write-off.

    Yep kinsman, good office equipment can be a real life saver!

    For the short term, perhaps running the hose out the top of the sporran and along the underside of the strap. A couple of leather keepers to keep it located and couple of dummy ones on the offside for visual balance might do the trick. It could transition up at the high point of the strap nearest your hip. You can also get narrow two sided velcro straps if you are in a hurry and don't want to mess with leather keepers.

    Best of luck.

    Several people on the forum have put pockets between the aprons for cell phones, keys, or whatever. If you simply sew a square of cloth on the inside of the under apron, it can ride out of sight and with easy access for the tubing.
    Attention to the placement can make it for all practical purposes invisible,
    while not endangering other pumping equipment that you must also carry everywhere.

    Maybe something like this clipped to your belt.

    If the pump has a clip on it, wear it inside the waistband with the clip on the waistband. You can also have two buttons sewn on the inside of the kilt about 2 to 3 inches apart in a place that works best for you. Then use an equivalent length strip of double thickness leather with a button hole in each end. Button the leather to the kilt and clip the pump to the leather strip. This should allow you to hide both the pump and the hose. The strip can be used with multiple kilts and carried with your pump accessories.

    And to think,...I've been calling it something else for the last 3 1/2 decades. I now stand corrected.

    I have to say Saddleback Leather makes some impressively heavy, quality products. My younger son got one of their Messenger Bags as his 'Best Man Gift' from his brother. Wowzers, it's almost bullet-proof!

    Yesterday kc8ufv stopped by to take a look at my pump. He was kind enough to bring some cloth swatches to perhaps make a pouch out of. And by the end of the evening he had come by again to drop off what he made. I will say that the sewing he did was really well done and the pump fits perfectly in the pouch. He didn't have the tartan of my kilt, but had some material that matched fairly close to my kilt. I'm going to try this out and see while I continue looking at other options.

    I do like the idea of stashing in the sporran and running the tube up the strap with leather ties. If done right I'm sure I could make that look balanced on both straps. It would also give me easy access to the pump in any situation.

    I hadn't thought of an IWB holster. I've got a friend who uses one for his concealed carry and will ask if I can take a look at it sometime. Even if its not a perfect fit it will at least give me an idea of how convenient it would be.
