Another "Sporran-like" Waist Pack

[Freedomlover]

Having been kilted for more than fifty years I can say with some degree of confidence that the common sporran, no matter how plain or ornate, just doesn't get the job done. The sporran, an accesory with a practical purpose, has not evolved at all. It is still nothing more than a simple pouch. When I go out I need a place for my drivers licence, debit card, cash, cell phone, smokes, and 60 year old Zippo. A mere leather sack just doesn't get it done.

Go to Jerry's site - look at his Nightstalker nylon sporran (leather version promised soon) - order one (he has good prices!)

Try it and I think you'll change your tune.

There are also many other "functional" sporrans available also! Thorfinn, and Buzz Kidder come to mind and I just can't remember the others.

A sporran made for and by people who wear the kilt IS available!

I'd also recommend Thorfinn sporrans. Turpin worked with me to make a custom set of pockets for the stuff that I carry and the workmanship is beautiful. I couldn't have lived without my SWK Nightstalker, but a handmade leather sporran is a big step up from mass produced. Check out his webpage for details.
