I'm Impressed

Not sure what happened to the thread Jimmy Carbomb started a few days ago about how good the new Stillwater Ballistic Nylon Sporran was. He's one of the people who's reccomendation carries serious weight with me.

And, just prior to that pics were posted of Ham wearing one.

With reccomendations like that, and me still trying to find the right fit for sporrans/vests/belt pouches to wear with my tartan kilts I placed my order with Stillwater.

First time we've done business.

Placed the order on Tuesday afternoon my time, probably after they were closed for the day. Today, Friday, at noon the sporran is at the post office.

Field tests follow, but on initial inspection it seems all others on the board have shared.

I'm just not used to having such a fast exchange of money for product in the kilt world. Obvious reasons for hand made kilts, but have waited for weeks for stock kilt hose, sporran straps, other sporrans....

A breath of fresh air.

A glimmer of hope.

Refreshing.

I too have been impressed at the speed / response I have gotten from Stillwater.

I can't say enough about the prompt service I had from SWK! I placed my order for my Wallace Economy on a Fridat afternoon and had it in the mail on Monday at noon.
Ron, I have been seriously considering the Nightstalker, the service from SWK has not been a question for me, but I eagerly await your product review!

Hey Wolf,

My review is REAL simple...GET YOU ONE WHILE THEY'RE IN STOCK.

If BOTH Ham and Jimmy own one, that's about the best recommendation you can get.

Heck of a deal. Its about the same size as the basic Buzz Kidder leather sporran only thicker sides. And instead of a "monkey trap" hole in the top into a dark pouch its got a top that unzips to halfway down each side, another pouch in front that velcros, and a little zip pocket on the flap that if Stillwater was wise they'd fill with their business cards.

I really like the look with my USA Kilt Casuals. (No, don't own any Stillwater kilts and you all know why)

QUESTION: Has anyone added their clan pin to the flap? Don't know if that would mess up the nylon or not....?

I have a clover pin on my SWK sporran, and it dossn't seem to reck the nylon. Although I guess it really depends on the size of the pin?

Ron, I knew you would like it! It is a great sporran. It is the one I wear almost every time I put on a sporran now. Just so much easier to keep things organized. I was really missing it today when I wore my brown casual sporran, the SWK has that small zippered compartment on the flap that is just right for hloding the small change, but you can pull it open enough to see what is in there. Today I was left to rummaging around in the bottom of the casual sporran for change when I went to pay for lunch.
