L&M Rob Roy sporran to get or not to get?

L & M is a very reputable company. Kyle has owned their sporrans in the past and has commented on their quality. To wear a Rob Roy style sporran is a matter of personal taste. If you like the look of it, go for it.

I was wondering if anyone had a picture on one being worn. I've seen the product online, but always alone and not being worn. Sorry I have don't have the best imagination. I need a visual guide to make my descision.

Cole I would suggest a freelander sporran instead. I love my L&M sporrans but have no experience with the L&M Rob Roy, I do however love the freelander.

L&M makes sporrans of the very highest quality. There used to be dozens of firms in Scotland making the same range of sporrans that L&M offers but most are gone now, while L&M soldiers on.

Rob Roy sporrans show up early. Here's one in the 1936 Anderson catalogue

People like them because they hold a lot of stuff, one of the roomiest styles out there.

Here's a thread showing an XMarker wearing a sporran which might be considered a Rob Roy type?

The nicest Rob Roy style I've seen is Ferguson Britt's

I'm wearing a 'Rob Roy' style of sporran here:-

It's not an L&M but is similar. Sadly no longer available as the maker retired. I like it a lot because it is comfortable and holds a lot.
