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

Here you can see the wide variety out there of Rob Roy type sporrans

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.

I've always liked the drop pin sporran. I'm sure it will look great.

I love my other one, Black with Silver antiqued pin. I usually wear that one with my Scruffy Wallace to complement the white stripes.
