    Is that a 1/2 lb. of coffee in your sporran...

    ...or are you just happy to see me?

    I was on my way home from the coffee shop when it started snowing. In order to protect my bag of coffee I discovered that there really is nothing you can't put in a Freelander sporran!


    So what's in your sporran?

    Excellent post Andrew!
    It's funny and it shows just how a Freelander sporran is bigger on the inside.

    I put everything you have in your Freelander in my Sporganiser except the coffee, the phone, and the book, so it cuts way down on clutter and space.

    Minus the coffee and I could get everything in my regular sporrans.

    It is room, isn't it? I have stuffed mine with an iPod, a Blackberry, a Digital Camera, a Sporganisor, and my keys in it once. I could have stufed it with more stuff, but I don't thing my belt was going to hold it.

    Love this post Andrew! I really can relate to the coffee stuff. Right now all I have is my wallet, keys and a pen - trying to keep it simple.

    R-kilt sporran: wallet, car/house keys, cell phone, bolle sunglasses, money.

    Just got the digital, I think there's room, haven't tested to confirm.

    I like the looks of the sporganizer, I'm considering it.

    I've thought about a Sporganiser, but I usually use my Moleskine notebook as a wallet - it has a bellows pocket inside the back cover where I keep credit card, license, kilt business cards. I normally put my cash in there too, but I'd just gone to the bank and had to keep bank-account-deposit cash separate from I-can-spend-this cash. I was happy to be able to fit the letter I'd written in the sporran as well, without having the sporran fold over the corners.

    I go everywhere with my notebook and a pen - I just happened to have a fountain pen with me today as well since I was writing a letter at the coffee shop.

    David,

    Bear's statement (in the above quote) has given me an idea. Why not rename your sporran "The Freelander TARDIS Sporran"?

    For those of you who aren't Dr. Who fans, Dr. Who's TARDIS (space/time travel machine) is much larger on the inside than on the outside.

    As an avid Dr Who fan the same thought has crossed my mind a lot . I'll have to work it in somewhere

    David, I'd love to send you some more photos, but what I carry in my Freelander Sporran really would not do your reputation any good at all! No! Don't get me wrong - behave ;)! It is just that I carry so little compared with these other guys. Unless I'm dressed formally, I always carry all my keys on a key-clip on my belts. I don't own a mobile/cell 'phone. I don't own pocket knives and would never carry tools other than in a tool-bag. On the other hand, I do carry a small, folded wallet with some notes, a couple of credt/store cards and the relevant kilt-maker's business cards. I do carry a small change purse, and I do carry a handkerchief. So, there is far more space in my Freelander Sporrans than there are goods and chattels - not good for your business at all, I'm afraid!!
