Sporrans with contemporary kilts?

I think it depends on both the kilt and the sporran. I'd never consider wearing, say, a fur sporran with a UK, but a plain leather sporran would work fine. I almost always wear a sporran with my TFCK kilts, but they're so close in appearance to a traditional kilt that most people don't notice the difference anyway. Still, my sporrans tend to be on the plain side - my fanciest sporran is Freelander

I usually wear a sporran with my UK Mocker or Alphakilt when I am traveling. It's easier to toss into the bin for the x-ray machine at airports, and I'm not sitting on a wallet for hours in a car or plane. Just around town I usually go w/o the sporran. I never wear it with my UK Workman's. It just doesn't look right and the UK snap arrangement, as alluded to by Cavscout, sort of breaks up the field visually. Plus the Workman's looks so masculine I defy anyone to call it a skirt with th straight face.

Wear what feels good to you and you like the look of.
That's why we're all here, isn't it???!!!

I used to rely entirely on the cloth pouches that come with my 2 AKs, but with all the corrupting influence from XMTS, I began jonesing for something more.

I call them my 'un-sporran'. Leather pouches and sling bags that I re-purposed for use with a kilt.

Ron,

The tassels are a nice touch, almost like a horsehair sporran.

Ron, IMO that's the perfect sporran to wear with a canvas kilt. Looks killer!

Regardless of pockets I always wear a sporran. If I'm drumming, golfing or anything else I just turn it so it hangs to the side and it doesn't get in the way.
