Low price 'will do for now' sporran?

[Improv1]

I am in need of a day sporran. I plan on making one when I finish making my Argyll, but for now, I need to buy one. I don't want to spend a lot (seems kinda cliche being thrifty on a Kilt site!) because I don't plan on using it a lot. I can't justify renting (hour and a half round trip to the rental shop) every time I need one. Anyone have any positive experiences with lower priced day sporrans?

THe best one I have found to date is from still water kilts. It is their nightstalker sporran made from nylon. I use it all the time because of the room!

Improv1,

For under $60 you can get a Buzz Kidder sporran. I have examined them closely and they are the best made / low priced sporrans out there. Stillwater Kilts sells them. Another Stillwater option is a handsome simple black braided sporran for about $35. Mine has seen a bit of use and is still in good shape. The Buzz Kidder ones are thicker and bigger though, and will likely last you many years.

Good Luck!

I believe that USA Kilts and Matt also sell the Buzz Kidder Sporrans. They look like a good low cost sporran. Alternatively, there are plenty of deals for the standard dayware leather sporrans out there including:
http://scottishkilts.net/store/leather_sporrans.html
http://www.jhiggins.net/catalog/sporrans_daywear.html
http://www.kilts.com/leathersporranone.htm

and of course many of the fine companies that advertise on this forum such as stillwater, sportkilt, Celtic croft, etc.

Part of me does want to say that I think it would be a better idea to buy a higher priced product that will last you years to come rather than just a cheap $$$ sporran for the time being. While one is a quick fix, in the long run wouldn't it be nice to have a quality product that is always an option.

Having said my piece, good luck with the search.....

I will echo the comments of others about the Buzz Kidder Sporrans. while it is not a $20 dollar sporran it is an inexpensive sporran when compared to some.

It's tempting to go extreme and find a $15 dollar one on ebay but you will regret that purchase in a few months when you have to throw it in the trash from some defect beyond repair.

The BK is a great first sporran that you will enjoy wearing years from now even after you have invested in a nicer sporran.

You won't do better than the Nightstalker sporran from Stillwater for practicality and low price. http://pro.channeladvisor.com/storef...9&aid=37073426

If you are hunting a VERY inexpensive yet good-looking sporran, try Stillwater's "economy" sporran. It's under $20, but has all the classic looks: black leather, three tassels. This sound's like what you're after.

I agree with Tatoo. The Nighstalker just seems too "fanny pack" to me.

Agreed.

For daywear I use one of two sporrans that I got from The Scotland Yard www.scotyard.com and they have held up for years. They were and still are $40.00 & $45.00. They are very sturdy and have taken a real beating at times. Might be worth looking into.
