No, I was thinking more of Utilikilts, Union Kilts, and others along those lines which, to many a trained eye, are not quite so 'traditional'. Of course, a lot of them have pockets - some hidden and some very obvious - but many of our kilted brethren still insist on wearing their sporrans with these kilts ....... to make them look more like kilts!!! What tosh! A sporran is nothing more than a pocket when all is boiled down to basics and, if you already have pockets in your kilt you do not need a sporran. It becomes superfluous.... and offends the eye!

Take my new Freedom Kilt, for example. I would NEVER wear a sporran with that - it would just look ridiculous.
I love it when I get confirmation about my own preferences from the "unofficial" guru on modern kilt fashion. I too think that a sporran with an SK, UK, AK, etc is a mix of fashions and looks that just do not go together. While I like a sporran most times with my "traditional" kilts (which I lump my SWK's into), I don't even wear the included sporran with my AK. I might consider it as a fashion accessory/statement if it were in a contrasting color, but as it is it is too monochromatic. Just don't see the need since the AK has a pocket for the wallet, and keys can be clipped to the rings. The 2 PK's I have ordered will include the rear and slash pockets for the same reason.
