Food for thought: if you spend a wee bit more on a good quality sporran, you won't have to replace the cheaper one you might buy down the road. Think of it as investment. A well-made sporran, such as a Freelander (shameless plug!) will last longer than a cheap one, and you won't have to spend more money down the road.

My wife likes that arguement! :mrgreen: Try it, it might just work.

Cheers,

A nice Brown Freelander would look great with the Weathered Buchanan.

I'd be careful ordering a brown BK with that tartan... the brown is a very DARK brown (think mud). Black is safer and matches damn near everything.

Yeah, I've found some that I like. I found a black one that has the Buchanan crest on it as well.

I've had a black buzz kidder for a while and love it. Sporran talk a few weeks back got me thinkin' I needed one in brown. It arrived today.

<------ doing happy dance.

Thick, hide leather, good color, roomy, great look, easy access, and no thwap, thwap!

<------ happy dance, happy dance, happy dance.

The one you just bought, is that a Buzz Kidder?

Yessir. It's the Country Sporran (first one listed) on the following page:

I now have it in black and in brown. The brown is a smoother (still matte) finish than the black (I really love the marbled texture of the black), but both are terrific!
