Show us your sporrans...

[Mike_Oettle]

That was helpful of you, John, to tell us what you acquired and what use you have had out of it.
I have so far (aside from my black leather army pouch, handed in in 1978) worn two borrowed sporrans (one black leather with chrome studs) and one in white rabbit skin with a chrome cantle and tassels.
When I returned the first borrowed sporran I was given one in brown leather. It has two drawbacks: it doesn’t hold enough, and its chain strap was too short. (But one doesn’t look a gift horse in the mouth.) I initially used the strap belonging to the rabbit skin sporran, but that broke ().
Today I took delivery of two leather sporran straps, one brown (which I am keeping) and one black (which I will return with the rabbit skin sporran).
Must get a bigger sporran!
Regards,
Mike

... Must get a bigger sporran! ...

Honestly Mike! Stillwater Leather Cargo is the way to go for a quality all rounder. Maybe not suitable for an evening at the Summer Ball but perfectly acceptable at a daytime wedding.



Goowaan, you know you want one!



I don't want this thread to turn into an advert so I'd like everyone to know at this point, I have no involvement with Stillwater Kilts or any of their leathery accessories. I'm just an impressed punter...

Tobus: Love the wife-made sporran and I have found a new liking for hairies so that's a hit too. And we all need a cheapie so the good ones don't get mauled. Cheers mate!

I've had one of the nylon ones for several years and have worn it probably more than any other. I knew Stillwater occasionally had a black leather version in stock, but I didn't know until yesterday (thanks to this forum) that there's a very handsome brown one. Ordered it last night, it shipped today, and will probably be here Monday. I love the design not just for the capacity but the way it allows you to organize things. And the way the zippers go so far down on the sides of the main compartment allow you instant access to that which can't be discussed under rule 11 (but is relevant to my line of work) with just a single quick jerk on the front of the sporran.

Dale, Donnie at Wyvern Leather made this sporran for me for the same reason (rule 11). He did a very nice job and it works quite well. More photos available, but not here if you are interested.
