Members resqman Posted February 6, 2009 Members Report Posted February 6, 2009 Very good (great) match in styling.Also, pardon my ignorance: Is a sporran a man purse? If not, what is the purpose? Aaron Sporrans are commonly worn with kilts. Kilts do not have pockets. They are typically worn centered in the front at waist level. There are both formal and everyday wear sporrans. Quote
Members tonyc1 Posted February 6, 2009 Members Report Posted February 6, 2009 While watching the Tattoo, I noticed the black and white hairy thing they wore just below waist level and I'd like to know if that is also a Sporran? And what would they carry in that? Tony. Quote
Members scottishshoemaker Posted February 7, 2009 Author Members Report Posted February 7, 2009 The balck n White hairy thing is a sporran, and yeh a man purse but I wouldnt say that to a scotsmans face. In my sporran I keep what most scots keep in their sporran. Wallet and hipflask(good malt). Quote You Want It, I'll Make It!
Members tonyc1 Posted February 7, 2009 Members Report Posted February 7, 2009 What sort of hair is it? Quote
Members scottishshoemaker Posted February 7, 2009 Author Members Report Posted February 7, 2009 It is usually horse hair, these are classed as military dress sporrans, military day sporrans are leather with regimental badge on front. Quote You Want It, I'll Make It!
Members Wyvern Posted February 7, 2009 Members Report Posted February 7, 2009 The sporrans you saw at the Tattoo were out of horsehair and were mostly for show. Not much use. The sporrans like Scottishshoemaker made are roomy and made to be used every day. A lot of guys are wearing kilts and sporrans on a daily basis now. Just go drop in on kiltsrock.com and brouse!

Suze Posted February 9, 2009 Report Posted February 9, 2009 they also keep your kilt "down in front" so you don't become a "floor show" (not that I don't like a good floor show once in awhile >giggle<) Quote Reality is for people who lack imagination Whether you think you can or think you can't - you are right. ~Henry Ford
