What is a good starter sporran?

[joecool]

Okay, so I am pretty sure that this topic has been covered somewhere by somebody, but I was just wondering what your recommendations would be for a good first sporran. I don't have a huge budget (meaning something under 100 bucks would be perfect!) Any suggestions?

Buzz Kidder has quite a few choices, all of them under $100.00

Also, one of my favorite makers is Janet Eagleton and I believe some of her simpler leather sporrans could be in your budget range.

I second KFCarter's suggestion of a Buzz Kidder sporran.

They are well made, large, durable, handsome and will last you for years.

I have a Loch Ness model myself

I would agree with the buzz kidder. I don't have one, but I have seen plenty of them. They have a nice soft feel and plenty of room to carry everything you need. They come in several styles. A few of our vendors carry them. Price range is between $55 and $65. They come in either brown or black.

Another vote for Buzz Kidder. Can't be beat at the price. The only thing I would suggest is to get a leather strap rather than a chain strap.

Can you tell me if all sporrans come with some sort of chain or strap? If not then where could I purchase the leather strap to match the sporran?

Some do, so don't, but if they do, it should say so.

Check the vendors that are listed here, and if you don't find what you want, try a Google search. If you search with the terms "sporran strap" (in quotes to search the phrase), you will find a lot of links to web sites that sell sporran straps and other information about the straps. I saw one listing that offered leather sporran straps in three colors.

Where in PA do you live? I've lived in Pittsburgh and the Philadelphia area until fleeing south recently to avoid the winters. Last weekend, I was out on a boat in a tee shirt!

All the sporrans I sell come with a chain strap, but an all-leather strap could be easily substituted. They are available in black, brown, or white.

I like the SWK Nightstalker sporran, with the lather strap... a very roomy and organized sporran...very utilitarian.

I guess that would depend which type of sporran you want. Everyone seams to like the buzz sporrans. I prefer to make them myself. Not for everyone though.
