I only wear fur w/ a jacket or at the very least a dress shirt and tie when it's too warm for a jacket. Casual/day sporran always w/ my t-shirts and rugby shirts. My A Hay dragon works very well at being a little dressier for evening casual.

I say go for it! Most folks don't observe the formal rules of general dress in society any way (i.e. no white after Labor Day, etc.).

Other evening rules no one observes:
- A lady should not wear leather shoes in the evening, but only those which might be ruined if she were to step in a puddle, lest she appear to be too poor to afford to ruin her shoes (or that she might be required to step in a puddle).
- Watches should not be worn for evening social events, lest you telegraph the notion that you'd rather be somewhere else.
Or so says Miss Manners (or Emily Post, I forget which).
Since we ignore these rules with impunity, I'm sure no one will chastize you for your faux pas either.

Hey I just spent $300 on a beaver pelt dress sporran. At that price it'll be my day sporran as well! What's the worst kilt police can do?

No day sporran after 6 PM?!?!? What an utterly ridiculous notion.
I do my pub-crawling after 6 PM, and should the fictitious kilt police come out in force and tell me to go home and get my sealskin sporran to go with my Doc Marten boots, Harley Davidson t-shirt and long hair let down loose ??? ![Shocked](http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_eek.gif) ![Evil or Very Mad](http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_evil.gif)
I think not. My Freelanders are my only sporrans worthy of a trip to the local ![Cool](http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_cool.gif)
Choice of sporran follows choice of attire (in my humble opinion and non-believer of so-called kilt police)

Because they haven't sense enough to laugh, the worst they can do is simmer.

Absolutely! Even under the old "rules" the day sporran would be worn in the evening as long as you weren't in evening (i.e. formal) wear. Check out the ball scene in the movie "Tunes of Glory" (~1961); most of the civilians are wearing fine tweed jackets and what we would call day sporrans at an evening event that was not a formal event. Today, I'd agree with what everyone else has said.
