Aye, no metal on financially hard won kilts. Leather, leather, leather.

You'll find that if you hike the sporran works better on the side, no point in abusing the boys.

When stepping up to the urinal the sporran HAS to go to one side. Same with dancing close with a lady. I find that when attending a dance its best to arrive wearing my sporran to one side - or not wearing a sporran at all. To move it to one side to dance close may seem a bit suggestive, as well as considerate and polite.

My well know rant with sporrans is WHY don't most sporran makers give the size of their product with the photos and information of their product?? That's a bit of information customers are entitled to prior to purchase. Many "standard size" sporrans seem too small for my hands to get in and rummage around, let alone hold all my gear.

Pay attention to lots of other pouch-like products that can be adapted for use as a sporran...or contact one of the custom sporran makers and get what you want made up.
