Which section are the in? Are they sporrans or what we'd call a bum bag (I think!) in the UK?

[scoutniagara]

Yes, in the UK, they're called "bum" bags; in North America "fanny" packs, but on that site, they're called, "leather waist packs."

I think he means the "bum bags" or Here they are "Hip packs". I am really not a purest, however, there is something to be said about the look of a sporran verses the look of one of those things. I owned something like those back in the 80's when they became popular and though they are pretty convienient I would never wear one with a kilt. If you are looking for an inexpensive sporran there are several copanies on the web that offer "economy" sporrans for about $20-$30 including Stillwater Kilts in Minneapolis.

Yeah I'd agree, I can't imagine those looking that great on a kilt and I don't particularly like the look of them either.

You never know though. Robert, if you have one, post a pic and let us see.

They don't look bad. For casual wear, I would prefer one of those. My sporrans, except for the SWK ballistic one, just don't let me organize things well. Just a single opening that you throw stuff into. A bum bag like these would be perfect, and they are leather as well.

looks like a fanny pack to me..purist or no, I'll not have a fanny pack on my kilt.

Robert, I have been watching this thread for a couple of days. I too was having problems at first finding them. Thanks for the correction on where the sporrens were. I have found them. For casual wear they look good. I appreciate the tip.
