    THAT IS ONE GREAT SPORRAN!

    I also am not a fan of hard sporrans

    Sam brown studs work well as a closure.ne your next one, use a hole punch the same size as the neck of the stud and and then make a small slit from the bottom center of the hole downward.The stud will still hold tight and will work easier.

    What I did was punch a hole same size as the neck of the Sam Browne stud and then carefully cut slits around the hole at 12 o'clock, 3 o'clock, 6, 9, and one in between all of those. It works good. The stud is held securely and although it comes out with a little more resistance than I'd ultimately want, it is, of course, still a little stiff 'cuz it's new.

    I am going to add these to my line of neo-jacobite shoes and the next one will be silver and black with perhaps a badger front.
