Any black or very dark brown sporran seems like a safe bet to me, depending on what else you're wearing... I'd leave any and all hair or fur at home.

You're forgetting the sporran's second most important function- Keeping the front of your kilt clean! I couldn't tell you how many times my sporran has caught food spillage that would have made me cry, had it hit my kilt.

Awesome! We have actually been planning on making something similar for CGR. Lots of spikes, studs and chains. A "Metal Sporran".

Oh good, let TurboKittie know when you figure it out ![Laughing](http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
Of course a sporran like that wouldn't work, IMHO, with a more traditional outfit and/or setting:

The enlisted man's plain leather sporran is a frequent choice of mine for 'pubbing' - and they're cheap:

But it would totally work when, after you've told a wee lad that the sporran was originally armor to protect you when sword-fighting, he hauls off and kicks you one in the 'nads to see if it really serves the purpose.

The other bonus is the leather strap, which seems to be accepted by concert security staff much more readily than a chain strap.
My only real complaint is that it wasn't avalable in black. I wonder how easy it would be to dye it?

I believe the big one could easily take down a moose!
