Nevermind what's under his kilt; ask him what's in his sporran! 45th Annual Monterey Scottish Games and Celtic Festival from VideoZee's perspective. www.montereyscotgames.com
That's right! The pin does offer a bit of weight to keep the top layer down, but the sporran definitely is you're last line of defense against a strong wind.
Fire kit, a little fishing gear, flask of course, a bit of coin, a wee bit of twine, a lovely ribbon for a bonnie lass, a sling and a couple stones.......
The people who sell the sporran and put a coin in it are giving a nod to olden times. If you were stopped on the street by the authorities you had to have a certain amount of money on you. Otherwise you could be considered a vagrant. It wasn’t much, just a coin or 2, but there you have it!
Don't wear one, I have a couple of utility style kilts with their own pockets, a plaid and a kilt society kilt I got for Christmas (Cool Mrs) But with the plaid and kilt I tuck my baccy and lighter into the excess fabric above the belt, between the two like a pocket and my hanky off to the side inside the fabric. Knife horizontally clipped on the left hip where the loop on my belt is, I'm not a traditionalist lol. Anything else lives in the cut off denim.
Ah, the kilt pin: you pay money for a knick-knack that will do nothing except put holes in your kilt and fall off. Perfect for those who want to sell you your next kilt, or your next kilt pin. The sporran keeps the kilt down, and if you're still feeling nervous about flapping kilts, wear a pair of boxer shorts.
