    Buzz Kidder Sporran Size?

    Ok gang - I can't seem to find this info anywhere so here goes - can someone please tell me the dimensions of the smallest Buzz Kidder sporran? I like the look but I don't want to carry a suitcase on the front of my kilt.

    Thanks

    I fail to understand why sporran vendors INSIST on not sharing the size of their sporrans! Its the most important thing we want to know, yet if there are sporran vendors sharing the size of their products I've yet to encounter them.

    From a marketing point of view its flat insane to withold the very information that is likely to make the sale. Particularly in a specialty market like this where its not uncommon to be "surprised" by the goods when they arrive.

    If nothing else, they could lay out a ruler by the pictures of the sporrans.

    Grumble grumble

    And to your question,

    Don't know if this is the BK sporran you had in mind but if it is, it measures 8" from top to bottom and 8" at its widest point...a lot less where it tapers in.

    Mine measures about the same. They're a good size, Phil. I think you'll be pleased with the purchase.

    Riverkilt, I groc your rant. I think most sporran vendors simply don't think to post dimensions. I've only seen a few that do.
