Sporran Selection Advice...

[plaid preacher]

My advice would be to begin building an outfit that you will wear all the time. That means kilt, tweed jacket with stag buttons, and a leather sporran. My first sporran - and still my go-to - is a fairly plain, three-tassel, black leather sporran. The hunting sporrans above are also an option, I prefer the more classic one worn by Terry in the photos to the funky L&M products, but that is your call. The silver cantled fur variety are a more formal variant, equivalent to a tuxedo in saxon wear. Some day, you may want to go there, but for your first purchases, but something that you can wear with a tweed jacket, or just a shirt and tie, or even a golf shirt...and that would be the leather sporran. Good luck.

I would just go with an ungilded leather sporran of whatever style you fancy. The metal cantled fur sporrans are only necessary for black tie and up so unless you’re in a Prince charlie and bow tie, plain leather will cover everything from a casual Highland games to a nice dinner outfit (suit and tie equivalent).

Your post, is exactly what I was wondering about. Ta!

If I were to buy a first sporran over again, I might get something like this. They’re often worn as a uniform sporran among pipers, they are technically a “daywear Hunting sporran” due to their shape and configuration, but they are a bit on the dressy side of daywear due to the black and silver color scheme:

This sporran is also a formalwear option for gents who don’t care for fur. I think it can do reasonable duty for daywear, semi formal, and formal occasions. Kinloch Anderson features this particular sporran with some of their formal jackets and doublets in advertisements.

Although—My personal preference really is brown for daywear.

To all, "Thank you". My concern is looking the nerk, to someone that knows about the kilted kit. Surprising how many people in our area wear kilts. As of about an hour ago, I made an acquaintance from Dumfries. Subject of kilts came up, & now a couples kilted dinner is in the works.
