Same looks that I get when I pull my keys out?

I knew an otherwise fairly proper girl who called hers a p**** pouch, due to where it hung - never did seem to sound right, coming from her.

That's what "fanny pack" means in Britain and Australia.

I thought the "fanny" was the rear? :confused: Hers hung in front.

"Fanny" refers to the front side in Britain.

I've used a belt (fanny) pack for several years, so it was easy to continue when I switched to kilts. I've used sporrans for more formal situations, but didn't care to pitch everything into one pocket, so to speak. The nylon SWK sporran has filled that bill well for me. It has multiple pockets and looks more traditional than a belt pack. Best of both worlds. I always know where my wallet, checkbook and cell phones are.

I have one, but haven't looked for a strap yet, so I'm still using my Freelander exclusively. I agree about throwing everything in one bag; your average men's wallets (the ones I've seen) are to big and thick to dig around, and if you just throw things in loosely, you have to dig around too much.

Since money and keys are the things that go in and out the most, I got a Taxi Wallet on eBay for my cash and change, and attached a ring to the d-ring behind the sporran for my keys to clip onto if I'm just running in & out of somewhere - if I'm staying a while, I'll dump them into the sporran. My ID, bank, and credit cards are in a small sleeve seperate from my money, and all the rest of the junk that had accumulated in my wallet is still in the wallet - which I haven't opened in months (in fact, I wonder where it is?). I guess that goes to show how useless most of what guys carry in their wallet is.

Slightly off-topic, but I went to my local PetSmart, bought a 1" black nylon tie-out (think leash, but with a buckle for fastening around tres, posts, etc), cut it to fit - voilà - matching strap for a black nylon sporran.

RE : Stillwater Nylon Sporran

I made a 1" strap with a clips on both ends and a clasp, of course made to fit me. I use the sporran daily for my wallet, Palm, bus tickets, etc. It looks better than a "waist pack".

I also used some of the remaining strap to thicken the "D" ring strap that came with it, it seemed to bunch up and the "D" rings pull funny (Same problems I have with my computer bag.) so by adding a couple more layers, it ended up more stable.

I've grown accustomed to wearing a sporran, fanny pack or using the pockets on my Utilikilt. On the days I wear my Hillwalker I have to remember it has pockets also.
