Sporrans

I don't have a nightstalker sporran, yet from what others have said (on many threads) that is the way to go if you need to carry a lot. I tend to carry as little as possible, but still always wish I had more room.

So I checked out the nightstalker sporran and I thought it would do fine, but when I showed it to my brother, he asked for something a little more fancy, "So I can wear it to church." So we've opted for the 3 tassel black leather sporran for starters, with the nightstalker being saved for Christmas. I just hope this fits him! Thank you all for responding with such promptness and with such enthusiasm. The order is placed, let the jones begin!

Should be a good fit for him. I notice it comes with a chain rather than a strap. . .Dressier/more formal, but be aware that it's also more destructive over time to fabric than a good strap.

Well, there is a wee problem with that: You ordered from Stillwater. That means there won't be enough time to experience a proper jones before the goodies arrive.

I'll be ordering the leather sporran belt along with the nightstalker sporran around Christmas time. I hope I am correct in assuming that he can use the belt with both sporrans, as both Andrew(husband) and his father, who plays with the local pipe band, have warned me about what chains can do to a kilt over time.

That's the great part. He's only 11, so his jones started the moment I said I was agreeable to buying the kit for him. I will not be at all surprised if I start getting regular phone calls from him asking if it's here yet. I didn't tell him when I was placing the order, so the element of surprise is on my side.
