Definitely go with USAK and get the PV ARMY while they still have it! You will not regret it!! From one Army guy to the next!

For those of you that have an US Army semi traditional kilt in PV from USAK
How if feel and swing as compared to a wool Kilt in 13 0z?

Does it feel lighter?
Is the difference very noticeable?

A lot of people go with the Buzz Kidder Rob Roy and Country sporrans. I think those are neat. But, I prefer the very basic plain type as sold here.

How much are you looking to spend, and what type of sporran are looking for? There are alot of options out there depending on what your budget is. If it were up to me I would save my up cash and get a freelander, but that is because I just love mine.

Thanks, everyone.
Regarding the sporran... I've started going kilted daily (except for job), so I need something plain & practical. A fanny pack just doesn't cut it. Also, I'd rather that it weren't prohibitively exspensive. I won't use it for anything formal. Don't have formal events in my life right now.
Have a good night!

One thing to consider is taht many of the sporrans out ther are quite stiff and generally can't hold much. Freelander Sporrans and RKilts are a softer pliable leather that really holds a lot of stuff. Another option is SWK's nightstalker sporran. It appears Jerry doesn't have any for sale right now but they are decently priced and very useful, made of ballistic nylon.

So if you want something for everyday wear that is not too expensive I would suggest Buzz Kidder, or you could get in touch with Turpin, he is a member here:

I don't own one but from what I have heard they are a very good product. For a bit more you could always go for a Freelander sporran at a later date:

I love my freelander sporran it has become the sporran I wear just about everyday, and it holds more than my other two sporrans put together.

I have the SWK Nightstalker sporran and love it as an every day casual sporran.
