Day Sporan After 6:00 PM

[TheKiltedWonder]

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?

I wouldn't wear the beaver sporran during daytime hours. Not during hunting season at least...

I say go for it! Most folks don't observe the formal rules of general dress in society any way

To societies detriment I believe. I think we have become far too casual.

Just remember this: It's always 5 o'clock some where......

[Andrew Breecher]

Other evening rules no one observes [etc.]....

An interesting historical note: the tuxedo was originally designed for use in the Tuxedo, NY country club as an informal day jacket (because it has no tails). Now it's the height of fashion. See how things change?

The MacDo's and the MacDont's, if they where to stop and consider the fact that the kilt has been around since the dawn of time in some form or another, and then consider exactly who made these ridiculous so called rules, they would soon realise that the "Rules" where over the years made to the benefit of those that sell highland garb, ie of course a sporran maker/seller would love the day wear / night wear rule, he sells 2 sporrans instead of 1.

Dont be put off by the MacDo's and MacDont's, consider what they say, but use your own logic, Just wear the kilt with pride be your own man.

If I understand what you are saying after 100's or years of kilt wearing, to many years where it was illegal to wear a kilt, the Do's and don't's of kilt wearing were developed by the English? They were developed in an era where those that could afford a kilt outfit normally dressed for dinner. Frequently dressing for dinner meant white tie with a tails jacket.

The style was to dress to impress. Now because of Sir Walter Scott and his romance novels we are being bound by a set of rules that should have only limited application.

Some of this can be seen by requiring an evening sporran after six that will almost hold a pair of opera tickets and a few bills of money.

I don't know who came up with this idea but it certainly is one of those silly that are just crying out to be broken.

Common sense dictates what one wears with what rather than the time of the day.

I agree 100%. Any day sporran that is of good can be worn. If many people wear dress sporrans at day-time events, why not wear a good day sporran to an evening event?

[Archangel]

Of course, yer traditional highland clansmen had many types of sporrans and sock, oops, hoses, in his closet so he was well dressed for any occasion.

I'm being ironic.

Plain black is always formal. I usually wear a dark brown, practical, R-Kilt sporran. I've got a semi-formal event coming up. I'll probably wear my cheapie impractical black show sporran to that. Anything I need to carry will be in my Argyll pockets.

but I agree with the Mudmen, it's after 5 somewhere.
