    I love my black leather Stillwater nighstalker...wear it all the time. Has a front flap with a velcro closure for wallet, back is double zip for "junk."

    Why I love it is I can operate it with one hand and without looking down to see what I'm doing.

    Don't know if Stillwater is still selling them, but can't hurt to check it out.

    Rocky and Jerry both sell Buzz Kidders of various finishes and styles that run between $55-$80.

    The one I have has a magnetic closure, which is way less of a pain in the a$$ than a snap or laces. I open it and rumage through it's fairly cavernous interior with one hand all the time. Half the time the catch doesn't actually catch, but that big ol' medallion on the flap is so heavy that it doesn't really matter. You could probably remove the catch and it would still be secure enough for anything except bungy jumping...which I'm not sure if one should do kilted anyway. Well, I might, but...

    Of my sporrans it's my favorite. IMHO they're nice enough for jacket-and-tie(but not formal), but work well with casual attire too. It's definitely become my go-to sporran, and gets my 5-Star Seal of Approval.

    The Nightstalker is pretty cool too. It's next on my list for hiking and such, but it's pretty casual in my mind.

    Plus one on the Buzz Kidders, I have two. The soft leather and magnetic clasp make for easy one hand operation. I have a leather SWK Nightstalker as well, it's my go-to for casual, but usually I run the Kidders for anything above that.

    What he said! I have a canvas Nightstalker, though. And in truth, even though it is very utilitarian, I just don't like the look as much as I do the Buzz Kidders.

    Try this link. Brice Lythgoe did a custom red fox sporran for me and it was very nice, especially for the price.
