Your post regarding the cost of a full-mask, or evening sporran is what Scotus was talking about. True a full-mask well take you from pub to ball room, but for someone on a budget... no. A nice fur and silver (white metal) evening sporran.. also a good thing to get... but no, not on a budget when you want to get use of you kilt during the day and not needed if you plan not to attend any formal events. For between $45-70, one should be able to get a good quanty leather sporran for day/casual wear from the likes of L&M Highlander.. one of the best when it comes to quailty.

    Frank,

    I think what I am getting hung up on here is that when I think about taking my wife out to dinner I am automatically thinking that I will be wearing black accessories. This runs with my thoughts that day wear "leathers" should generally be brown. Hence I was looking for either two sporrans or one that would work with both situations.

    As I am not really that experienced with E-Bay I was also thinking only of new items. A quality used, but well cared for, sporran is of course an excellent suggestion.

    Cheers

    Jamie

    Fair enough. I guess I too am at fault.. I never thought you would be hung up on things like brown/black leather. So there we have it a mis-communition cleared up without a brawl! If only they were all so easy.
