This is my own experience.

I have been looking all over at all sorts of sporrans, even found a store that sells them locally.

What I do not want. Don't want 300 dollar sporran. Don't want sporrans made from small animals that I don't eat. I have no problem with leather sporrans, I do have a big problem with real fur sporrans. Unless I am willing to eat it, I wont wear it. At a local store I saw a sporran made from a badger. Had little marble eyes and everything. I was actually horrified. It was a twisted sick thing to do.

All of the sporrans I have looked at locally were all WAY to small for my hammy hands. While some sporrans were very large in size, their storage capacity was miniscule.

About my sport sporran ideas. I am not a sports buff. But I know many men are. I am guessing such an item would sell quite well.

I am a practical sort of man. I believe that function should come first, then form. I carry a lot of stuff around typically. And the idea of fishing through a sporran for every little doodad that I, or many men like me, carry, bothers me.

Might sound dorky, but what about an office based sporran? Almost pocket protector like. Have a slot in front for a pen or two, for easy access, another easy access pouch pocket for say, a palm pilot or a phone, and a snap pocket for wallet, check book, etc. What about a sporran that is cleverly designed to open up and fold out a bit like a tri-fold wallet, but when closed would still look like a traditional sporran? Something like Batman would wear if he were Scottish and wore a kilt, a Bat Sporran™ that would hold his gadgets and look good while doing it. Something that could hold a full sized check book, a few pens, a phone or a palm pilot, maybe a pair of glasses if needed, your keys, and all your loose bits, all the while tucked and folded into a small compact neat and tidy little package that did not hang to heavy. Something that looked nice enough to wear out for a night on the town with the missus but could be worn every day or every night down at the pub and not look out of place.

I go for walks almost every day. And on these walks, I see men with cargo khakis stuffed to the brim with stuff. These men would never be kilt wearers, there is no place to put their stuff! While you could wear a fanny pack with a kilt... It looks tacky! There needs to be some sort of Cargo Sporran™.

I have some serious ideas on reinventing the sporran... Might even make a business of it. Not sure what to do or how to do it, but I have some very good ideas. If I were to start such a thing, I would need somebody to distribute and sell. Maybe. I don't know. Long ago, I was a fairly skilled leatherworker. I am almost positive I could pick it up again. I was told I had a great deal of talent, just needed to refine my skill. Now is as good of a time as any to do it.
