    Looking for a casual day sporran

    Im looking to get a sporran that i can use daily that is big enough for the bits i carry (i use a fanny pack/bum bag when i wear trousers/training wear that houses sunglasses, large wallet, inhaler and few other bits) I have seen a pouch type that also has a cover over it, but it may have beena 1 off as i havent seen anything like it on line anywhere

    Look into a Rob Roy style sporran as they tend to have a large capacity because of their design,
    Donnie at Wyvern Leatherworks makes a nice piece at a fair price.

    You can also try buzz kidder sporrans, I think the Inverness sporran will suit your needs.

    Shipping may be what gets you, though I'm sure there are similar craftsman and/or suppliers on your side of the pond, but at least you have some ideas what to be looking for!

    I purchased a sporran from Oh Susanna a couple of years ago , it is my go to day wear. It is very large and roomy, I carry my sun glasses, walllet, smartphone and sometimes pipe and tobacco . Here is a link to a review.

    Many kilted Americans favour big vaguely historical-looking pouchlike sporrans, of a sort that never existed in Scotland AFAIK. Whenever I visit a distant Highland Games (in West Virginia, North Carolina, Atlanta, etc) I encounter them, made by local makers. Who knows how many such makers there are.

    That sort would fill your bill, I think.

    Unfortunately, it's looking like they don't carry this sporran any more, in favor of the Buzz Kidder lines mentioned earlier in this thread.

    EDIT:

    Ahhhhhh... apparently Steve only had 5 in his initial run so was only selling them directly through his shop and not in his online store.

    It's Monday, so Steve's shop is closed today. Give him a call tomorrow. It's a good bet that he has a prototype around the shop.
