    Non-traditional Sporrans

    Non-traditional sporrans, or non-sporran sporrans.

    With so many casual kilts being worn, has anyone considered something other than a sporran to sit in front of your kilt? Or a sporran made from something other than leather? Such as canvas, denim etc.

    Jerry @ Stillwater Kilts (a forum advertiser) has a ballistic nylon sporran.
    Other than that, I can't really think of any non traditional materials being used in production.

    I personally prefer leather.

    I have these two. They are tactical bags from ALICE gear -



    I wear them with my modern military kilts during the day. Such as when Amy and I head out to the Games.

    Most of my sporrans are what would be considered non traditional, especially since I've made most of them myself. Here is a pic of them from a while ago however the collection has grown since then.

    Sporran Nation has some interesting stuff, including vegan options. Not quite traditional but still definitely a sporran...

    One of my own creation. This is a prototype, so the fit and finish isn't great as I was working out function instead of fashion.It has a pocket in the flap for ID, cash, stuff you might want quicker access to. The velcro on the flap lets me change patches easily so I usually use my old patches from my flight suit. The strap is a recycled camera strap in the pic but has been upgraded since this was taken.




    The tabs seen here can be pulled loose and you can pretty much stuff a cantalope in there.




    I have several similar to this as well as two Rob Roy types with detachable and interchangeable flaps but don't have pics handy.

    I like these for hiking, fishing, etc. I usually wear these when there's a risk of damage or soiling. With about two to five dollars in materials invested I never have to worry about damage!

    The grass is greener on the other side of the fence...and it's usually greenest right above the septic tank.

    My first sporran is made of denim jeans.

    Happy Christmas from Finland!
