quick fix for a Freelander

[Dirk Skene]

Like many others here I am a proud owner of a Freelander Sporran Unlike many others, I abuse mine I tend to overstuff. My Freelander gets a workout. I have on occasion overstuffed it & one or the other leather cords holding on the lid button has come untied :crap: I managed to get it tied back and then pulled it tight with a pair of needle nosed pliers. Then I put a drop of super glue on both knots. It has not come apart since. Long live the Freelander

I don't think that is an isolated incident. Happens to me quite often. I am actually going to replace my orm with a modified Brotherhood of the Kilt kilt pin.

I have mine for a few years and mine is holding up well. Mind you, I only have overstuffed it a few times....

I'm guilty of overstuffing my Freelander too and snapped one of the cords but I managed to find a shoelace in a matching colour to replace it.

I have had no problem with mine at all. It has taken a beating so far and has not shown the slightest wear yet.

Hi Alex,
let me know if it was the upper or lower Cord I'll send you another I don't want you running around with a shoelace.... How did you manage to snap it ?.. That takes some doing

[cessna152towser]

It was the short cord at the very top which attaches the pointy antler to the circular sporran lid which broke. It just snapped off suddenly when I was walking along the street. This is the sporran after repair with a shoelace.

I have had a bunch of stuff in mine, no problems yet.

Just out of curiosity, what do you guys define as "a lot of stuff"? In my Craige sporan, I commonly carry wallet, keys, cell phone, lighter (I don't smoke, but sometimes, it's useful to have fire), fountain pen, data stick, coin pouch, and magnetic hiking compass (a habit I picked up in NYC, when I sometimes needed it, coming out of a subway in an unfamiliar neighborhood). Is that "a lot of stuff"?

I would say thats alot of stuff as for me my alot of stuff in a freelander is:
My wallet,
3 sets of keys,
my Motoq,
my ipod,
money,
a digital camera,
a coupon book to Tim Horton's,
a gift card for future shop,
and my kilt passport.
