SWK Sporran

[ChromeScholar]

I just picked my Stillwater Kilts sporran from the post office. It's the basic model (15.95). I only ordered it last Friday, and got the shipping notice on Monday. The turn-around time is impressive.

As for the sporran itself, it's made of fairly heavy leather for the front and back. The sides are made of a thinner, more flexible leather. The flap is held closed by a snap. The sporran measures 7 1/4" top to bottom, 6 3/4" side to side, and 1 3/4" front to back. The workmanship is good, except for the rear of one of the tassels, which has a bunch of what appears to be dried glue smeared across the leather. It comes with an adjustable sporran chain.

All in all, my impression is favorable, especially considering the price, and service I received. It will hold all my necessities quite adequately, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to kilt novices, like myself.

This mirrors my experience as well. Of course being the nut that I am I am already planning out my custom sporrans (so much stuff, so little money)

I like my economy too. Daily I wear a nightstalker sporran. The seperate compartments are really nice during the work day when I am constantly retrieving my flash drive, utility knife, ipod, digi camera, PDA, wallet, smokes, money, etc.


The economy is great for outings when I want the leather and am less "busy". ( you know dressy day events, like Wal Mart shopping and dining at the Chinese buffet )

I want to get more and better sporrans, but the el cheapo will always have a place. Hard to go wrong, and it can always be a "back up" when you upgrade. There are many who advise to get a nice buzz kidder or freelander off the bat.

There is certainly something to be said for buying quality. In my world there is alot going on where I don't want to have to worry about trashing a kilt or sporran. SWK gear is great for this, the kilts and the sporrans.

I think I would really like wearing a hand made TANK and a high quality sporran. Right now I am taking a break from tossing heavy boxes and bags of concrete about in a non-air conditioned warehouse. My Irish National economy SWK and affordable sporran from the same house are near ideal for this kind of day.

I'm anxiously awaiting the release of the SWK leather Nightstalker Sporrans. *sigh* It's jonses for something not yet available.....how frustrating.

I'm waiting for the new sewing machine so I can make my own.

I just love my SWK Nightstalker. Other sporrans I had trouble finding things. The Nightstalker keeps everything handy. My son wants one but I told him that when the leather version comes out that he can have my nylon.
Looking forward to Reno, NV and Hot August Nights car show next week. Taking 4 kilts....

SWK is mad fast on shipping. I've bought 10 kilts and assorted do-dads from them. I've outfitted all the men in my family(Dad, Brother, Sons) with a kilt, sporran, belt, and hose for les than $80 per head. I now have my own Jacobite hoard thanks to SWK

Thanks for the review. I hear several people have good experiences with SWK and that tells me it's a good company. I'm going to go ahead and make the two SWK purchases I had been putting off (due to not knowing the company).

I don't know about the price for this one in leather, but I'm taking two when they're in....one for me, and one for part of my brother's Christmas present.

Hi, we already have that pic posted on XMTS, there is a thread dealing with that sporran. If you want to put it up again that's fine with me.
