If more money now for a better product will serve me better then I'll go for it. But if the product isn't so much better and I'd be happy, with and served well by, a cheaper product then I'm not 'rolling around' enough to justify all the extra expense.

The Kidder does sound like a sound sporran but I'm just not sure I like the style as much as others.

The Knotwork is a bit of an unkown quantity since I like the style somewhat and the price with strap is a good deal, but will I be disappointed with the product - too small or whatever?

Whilst I'm loving the kilts I have and can see myself getting more, I'm not an indiscriminate spender and wont be loading up on a collection of sporrans and shirts and all the other stuff. One sporran will be enough for me for a while I think.

Incidentally, and I know this breaks with tradition, but I found that since I didn't have a sporran but wanted to wear my new traditional and needed both the function and style of having something with my kilt, I found that I quite liked adding one of the detachable pockets from my UK Survival to my belt, wearing it on the hip.

I think both Freelander and Buzz Kidder sporrans are great. And both made by great guys, as well. Both hold a lot, so no worries about being too small. (They have different styles with different capacities, but all are generous as sporrans go.) I'm now carrying the BK's, so if you want one, let me know! The BK Country Sporran can be dressed up with a nice chain strap and will work as a semi-formal sporran, as well as making a great day sporran. You can see this style on my husband Alan in my X Marks gallery.
