Low price 'will do for now' sporran?

[Canadian_Kilt]

I bought one of the black braided sporrans from SWK when I ordered my Blackwatch. They have both yet to arrive, but I figure I don't have a sporran, and my first good quality is going to have to be a dress sporran, since it's needed for my wedding. It looks alright, and it was on sale for $15. It's cheap enough that if I use it even for only a few months and toss it as soon as I can get a better quality casual, it was worth it.

C K,

I just peeked at the Stillwater site. It looks like they are out of the Black Braided sporrans I was talking about. I haven't seen the special economy ones that Jerry brought in at $15 so I'm not sure what they are like.

Imrov1,

A cheap 3/4" wide black or brown leather belt from the ladies accessory section the department store of your choice makes a for a good and inexpensive sporran belt.

Cheers

I don't know what look you looking for. But this may work

It is my intent to purchase a better quality fur sporran later, if I don't get around to making one first. The reason for my present thrift:

1 wife + 5 kids + 1 ex = cheap sporran

(not to mention the llamas, goats, chickens, ducks, and guinea hen!)

Nuf said?

I appreciate all the input, and I will set about sorting through it right now... I plan on ordering today if I can!

Thanks Again!
Cheers!

Yeah the economy is the one I got.

I should see it any day now so if it shows up I'll let you know how it looks.

I echo others' sentiments. Buzz Kidder. Buy One. 'nuff said.

The economy one from Stillwater, or an equivalent on Ebay, will serve you just fine at much less cost than a Buzz Kidder. I've got the single braid one and I love it.

Try E-bay there are usually many to choose from.

Be careful with the cheap ones mentioned here if you have large hands. I bought the $15 one on the Stillwater site at the same time I purchased the other one. I can't get my bleeping hand into it. So, consequently, I don't use it.

That's a good warning, but it has nothing to do with price. Any sporran could have an opening that is too small for you guys with big mitts.

As Riverkilt often notes, sporran manufacturers and sellers seldom advise us of the dimensions of the damned things.
