    Megasporran deflated

    Well, I hope this doesn't disappoint too many of you but...

    I tried on the new megasporran and it was just too darned big. My wife put it best, and I quote,

    "Instead of little kids saying "Look Mommy, that man is wearing a skirt!" you'll hear them say "Look Mommy, that man is wearing a suitcase...and he's wearing a skirt, too!"

    Took it apart today, lost 1 to 2 inches in each direction, and I'm much happier. just finished stitching it up and it measures a respectable 7" wide by 9" deep...still on the large size from what I've seen out there.

    Now I can only carry two beers....

    And Onion, if sperm count becomes an issue with me there will be a surgeon with a lot of explaining to do!

    What a shame. I thought that maybe it would make a good Kilt carrier when traveling.

    One thing about lining it with goretex. Goretex is great to keep rain and the occasional puddle out, but I have seen occasions where goretex does leak. Once it is worn in a little, you can put your goretex jacket or boot in standing water, and some water will seep in.

    As with your sporran-cooler, it would result in what most would call the appearance of you having an "accident".

    You would be better to coat the inside of your sporran with liquid rubber, like that which is used to put new rubber handles on old tools, or to fix sneaker soles cheaply. Silicone caulking may work even better as it is pliable, cheap and easy to work with.

    oh, I'll be you can fit a pint o'scotch in there with those beers. A nice 15 yr old Weller special reserve would do nicely.
