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.
