What is a sporran for?
Kilts have no pockets, so a sporran carries your phone, wallet and keys. It hangs at the front of the kilt from a belt or chain strap and is an essential part of Highland dress.
Match your sporran to your outfit
Formal outfits, such as a Prince Charlie jacket, usually call for a full dress sporran. An Argyll jacket works with a semi dress or full dress sporran. For casual wear with a utility kilt or hybrid kilt, choose a day sporran.
