Traditional sporrans hark back to the common European medieval belt-pouch from which all sporrans are descended. Made entirely of leather, they hang from a ‘whang’ or kilt belt.

A popular choice amongst devotees of pre-nineteenth century highlandwear, Traditional sporrans make for a distinctive accessory worn with an informal kilt outfit or the ideal companion for bounding through the heather in full Highland garb.

How To Wear It

The rugged outdoor feel of Traditional sporrans is well suited to green Tweeds, rough knits and the feileadh mòr (‘great plaid’).

Day sporrans do just what they say on the tin, providing a simple solution to the age-old problem of where to keep your car keys. All-leather shovel pouches with minimal adornment, they represent practical everyday highlandwear at its very best.

A wardrobe staple for men who wear kilts on a daily basis, and a popular choice amongst gentlemen who prefer an understated look for informal occasions.

A relatively recent addition to the highlandwear canon, Semi Dress sporrans are showier than Day sporrans and a little less ostentatious than Dress. They combine a leather flap and a hair hide in seal or bovine.

Designed to meet the growing need for ‘transitional’ highlandwear, which can be worn to both informal and formal occasions, Semi Dress sporrans are a popular choice with gentlemen looking for a luxurious ‘one stop’ solution that marries traditional craftsmanship to contemporary needs.

Dress sporrans have been an essential element of formal Highlandwear since the nineteenth century - although they are a little less in-your-face than in their Victorian heyday. 

Today, dress sporrans range from the ornate (think solid silver filigree and an exotic fur) to the relatively low-key (antique finish and seal skin). Their defining features are a metal cantle (named after the back of a saddle, don’t you know) and a fur front.

A popular accompaniment to a first kilt and a must-have for regular attendees of black tie events.

The regulations and conventions surrounding piper and regimental sporrans are as complex as the pipes and regiments themselves. Suffice to say they’re made of horsehair - and their superior length and decorative details ensure they prevail as the most dramatic in style and visual impact!
