    Yet another practical reason for the sporran!

    It seems I recall from another thread that the sporran was historically worn on the hip until the Victorian era when it was moved to cover the "bulge" for modesty.

    My wife is the same about it. If you really think about it though, there is a much larger bulge in pants than in a kilt, it's just more obvious in a kilt.

    I recall reading that as well.

    My girlfriend was somewhat scandalized by the "sporran" on my AmeriKilt. "That's all? It doesn't hide much." So she made me wear my Rob Roy sporran with the AmeriKilt.

    The solution is quite simple. Do what I did: become old and develop a paunch that will keep the kilt hanging far in front of anything else on your body.
