Holy smokes it's practically a saddle bag!!

ON a similar note...

You may consider buying the kits like this from tandy

and making some modifications.

Frankly it is just a wee bit too big kind Sir. It looks like a black powder shooter's "possibles" or shot bag.
Making a Rob Roy or similar period sporran in whatever size you desire isn't all that difficult, and there are a number of patterns and instruction on how to do this floating around on the internet. I'd go that route were it me.

Is there such a thing as "Sporran Envy"?

Thanks, I haven't taken it out for a spin in real life yet as a sporran, it's worked great as a "possibles bag."

Wanna see how it works when sitting down, might be kind of like having a baby or a cat in my lap.

As you might have figured out, I have a LOT of fashion freedom out here in the boondocks. More interested in what works, than "proper" dress or look.

Wearing the kilt daily the biggest objection I have to my tartan kilts is not having a convenient way to carry my "stuff."

And, I really have wandered into the tack shops to check out saddlebags and see if they could be split and used as sporrans...

There was a time in the 70s in corporate America when I was burdoned with huge sample cases that there was no way to carry a brief case too so I used regular saddlebags as a briefcase. Just slung the saddlebag over my shoulder and pushed the two big wheeled sample cases. Wore a three piece suit at the time. Was working in New York City. The saddle bags started a few conversations with prospects.

Suppose I could just use a pair of saddlebags as a "sporran" and carry them over my shoulder.

I'm no longer a slave to pants...but I'm still a slave to pockets!

Hmmmm, I may have to make the rounds of the thrift shops again and look over the handbag selection.

LOL I have to agree with yuo on that one...I have my first sporran enroute but when I wore my Stillwater Blackwatch out and realized I had no pockets to put my wallet in, it was more than a little frustrating....

I say, what ever works for you. It's big, but doesn't look bad. Much bigger than I would ever need for myself - I have a Buzz Kidder Country Sporran that is more than adequate for what I carry. When I wear my AK's, the matching cloth sporran and the back pocket give me even more carrying capacity than my Buzz Kidder sporran.

You could split the saddle bags and fold over the tops to form a belt loop then wear a bag on each side like holsters I'd pitty your lower back though if you really loaded them down.
