    Well, Logan, I viewed the site and it was great to have different sporrans to compare...I was immediately attracted to the horse-hair sporrans for police and fire...Although they are loud, they seem less pouchy (round)...Perhaps that's it??? I like sharp edges???

    a-ha! I wondered if the pouchy look was getting to you a little. The nightstalker has clean lines, I believe. Modern.

    I can totally see it. I mean, they do have their place and there are some very nice sporrans that have the pouchy look, but I can see how that wouldn't appeal to some tastes.

    So yeah, definitely look into some of the sharper-edged casual/semi-dress sporrans then? As I said, start keeping a little list of the looks you like. Who knows, maybe you could get someone to make one specifically for you.

    (those horsehair sporrans ARE divine, aren't they?)

    Be forewarned that many of the horse-hair sporrans have little to no room in them to actually use, as is also true of many dress sporrans. If you want one that you can actually put things in, the rounded shape is hard to beat.
