Sporran Alternatives

[Riverkilt]

Wise decision. Don't forget there are other options such as jackets or vests for your stuff. Here's one of those umpteen pocket Scottevests.



I too like the look of a kilt without the sporran - shows more tartan. First saw it in a booze ad and liked the idea.

That man has no fly boxes and I don't see a fly rod either. As a fly fisher person I can't decide if that picture is sexy or irritating.

As for the "not a sporran" I like the shape of #1 but the three tabs are a no go. The other two would be too difficult to get stuff out of.

Ahh, it ain't a booze. Its a kiltmaker. So he's modeling the kilt...so no sporran...or fishing gear...

Thanks for the input guys. But I think I've found what I was looking for. here's a picture alongside the kilt I've just purchased (2nd within a week. i well and truly have the kilt wearing bug now! lol)

I like number two. I'm all right with alternatice sporrans when the occasion calls for it. I (on very rare occasins) wear a vintage army ammo pouch on a web belt in lieu of a sporran. Keep in. Mind that those are very rare occasions, usually in my cheap, knockabout acryllic Blackwatch from Stillwater...never in my nive kilt from USAKilts (which I wear with a standard sporran).


Sidenote: I have seen that advert before. I have always been curious about a kilt in an ad from a company called "O'Neil of Dublin." Very good photo, very nice pallate. Excellent ad, just odd because it's Irish, not Scottish. Anything interesting behind the ad?

1 & 2 could work. Please let us know the website of the vendors, we all like to keep a look our for new vendors.

Out of curiosity, what's wrong with a sporran? Are you just looking for something different? I like the one you chose the best, btw. The round design will suit the task better and your legs will thank you.

in response to theofficialbren's question - there is absolutely nothing wrong with a sporran. i'm just looking for some alternatives.

in response to grizzly's question - the first two i found on www.lederkraft.com under pouches and bags. i found the third one on www.longbowandarrow.co.uk, again under the pouch section. My final choice i found at the wonderfully named www.thevikingstore.co.uk. type in elven pouch in the search box and you'll find it. comes in 3 other colours as well.

I believe the term you're looking for is "irritatingly sexy". ;)

You could (dare I say it) cut he middle tab off of the first one to make it work if it's a serious issue. Or, as hylander said, you could wear it on your hip instead of front & center if you're not too concerned given that the intention is to wear it casually anyway.
