    Mini Review of WPG Sporran

    I ordered my WPG sporran a week ago, it arrived in 4 days. Great service!
    It is brown and a very plain Jane. No tassles, no exotic locks or clasps,
    it came with a belt of matching color.

    The lock is a simple small brass button in a slit.

    The sporran measures ca., 7.5" high, 7" wide, the unexpanded depth is 1".

    I really like my new sporran, it fits me well-simple with no bling.

    Next to Buzz Kidder Sporran:


    Unexpanded view next to B.K. sporran:


    The leather is not as soft as the Kidder, but for $25.00 complete with belt
    what a deal.

    Will I order more stuff from What Price Glory, you bet.

    Nice, I'm still waiting on my package it shipped out on the 2nd the delay has nothing to do with WPG and everything to do with Canada Post, I know the package is in Toronto, it just has not made it to my door yet, glad you got the sporran, just wish Canada Post was more on the ball.

    You have to figure in the time delay for sled dogs and ice trains and blizzard busses....

    We have not had snow here in a few weeks, we did get dumped on a few weeks ago but recently it's been warm relatively speaking so they can't even use that as an excuse.

    I have the same sporran. It's well worth the price.

    I couldn't agree more. I hate wearing belts and sporrans. This one is thin enough that it doesn't feel like a lot of weight around my waist or flop around. I usually wear a butt back turned around, feels better!

    I look at my "cheapola" sporran (more than 25 bucks, for sure) and am so jealous.

    Where's Stanardsville, btw?

    I have the same sporran as well and for the price it is as good as any.
