    They appear to be very well thought-out, practical, and well-made.

    But in my opinion they're not a "sporran" per se, but a square cargo pouch with some superficial styling cues borrowed from sporrans.

    It's mainly the proportions. Sporrans have, since the 18th century, had a certain proportion and shape. Like it or not, 300 years of tradition have defined what sporrans are shaped like.

    I might have interest getting one if they made it look more sporran-like. Perhaps not even then- sporrans have evolved to perform a function, and IMHO do it very well.
