    Sporrans. They look great, but when I'm driving or working at a dsk, they get in the way. I have a leather belt pouch from Native Earth that I use instead. It attaches directly to my belt and stays out of the way.

    Yeah, I have to agree about the sporran. Sitting at a desk or something one could just swing it around to the side maybe. But there's just no place to move it to when driving.

    Agree 100%. Especially when driving--between the steering wheel and seat belt--there is a lot of "adjusting" to do.

    Well I just got my new sporran from Turpin and I could not resist wearing it today as a "fanny pack". I love it, everything is right there handy and getting money out for the drive through is so much easier than digging in my pants pockets. So the sporran may be my favorite item, I'll let you know what my least favorite is after a few months.

    Just to add to this: Turpin makes a solid length strap for the sporran that buckles at the back of the kilt. I tend to trade this strap onto all of my other sporrans, because the beauty of them is that when you sit, in a car of at work, you can slide the sporran to your side easily. I do this often, when at home on the computer.

    cheers,
    A point of correction, Turpin does not make the strap (I was hopeful to get everything together). He uses and recommends Oconee Leather Works for straps and belts. I am hoping to get my order in with them soon. In the mean time I ordered a strap from Stillwater and it lets me slide the sporran around pretty easy and works, I just want a thicker strap with clasps to connect to the sporran.
