    SWK Nightstalker Sporran

    Fast becoming darn near indispensible.

    Perfect for the commuter, kilted or otherwise...convenient copartment for the train ticket and a few folded bills and change, velcro'ed pocket for the cell phone and the main compartment is big enough to schlep a paperback book and a small notebook and several writing instruments.

    Lots of looks..."what is that?"...unspoken answer: "It's a SPORRAN, you illiterates."

    I'd suggest that Jerry think about a leather version of the same thing...the nylon is super and, in the unlikely event that it ever wore out, I'd be ordering another in a flash...but I'd certainly jump at the same configuration in black leather.

    Best

    I couldn't agree more. I would be flippin' lost without my nightstalker sporran. I would buy a leather in the same fashion without thinking twice.

    Same here. I got one when they first came out and it's the one I use the most.

    THe only modification I had to do to my NS sporran was lose the plastic "D-rings" on the back. The nylon strap quickly began to bunch up in the corner of one of them. So, I simply got rid of them and replaced with a pair of simple key-rings. Works like a champ now.

    I don't have one yet, but if he said he was putting out a leather line i'd wait. As nice as the nylon sporran looks, a good, moderately supple leather would be more traditional, but more useful, if it incorporated all the nighstalker features. I don't like digging around in my restrictive sporran. I did just order a brown buzz kidder from the tartan museum.

    This leather prototype has been sitting on my desk for almost two months. I need to get going on that...

    I just got my NS and I really love it. I did like your Idea TB, and replaced the plastic D-Rings with key rings after the first day. I got it just in time to take it out for a spin in Bisbee and Tombstone and was very happy with the spacious interior.

    I am really looking forward to the leather version now.

    Too bad the leather prototype pictures is just a red x to me. I've been holding out for a leather one and have been most tempted by the nylon for a while now. O'Neille

    Oops, weak moment. I couldn't get it out of my head and had to order one today. Ahhh! good customer service, how refreshing.

    When the black leather one comes out, you can bet I will be picking up one as well!
