    Agreed. The Stillwater Nightstalker is probably one of the most functional sporrans around, but it is lamentably weak on style.

    Re: Special pocketed Sporran

    Sounds like a great new product, Steve! I was wondering, though, would a traditional 'day sporran' design have to be up-scaled to hold all that stuff? The one I have would be way too small for that. I don't know how it would be possible to hold a paperback book in there without drastically increasing the size of the sporran.

    Also, I'm wondering what kind of specification you came up with for a pocket that can hold a mobile phone. Those silly things come in all shapes and sizes.

    I've got a custom DIY project that I'm starting on, which will have a sleeve on the back panel specifically for my phone. This is the direct result of a "sporran dialing" incident that happened about a month ago, where I had my phone loose in my sporran with all my other stuff, and it somehow started calling people (unbeknownst to me) and doing other random stuff.

    But I'm almost afraid to do it, since it will likely become useless when I upgrade my phone (whenever that might happen). If I build it to fit my current phone exactly, I risk it being too small for a future phone. But if I build it for a large phone, I risk my current phone tumbling around in there. I wonder if maybe an elastic sleeve would be best, so that it can accommodate several sizes/shapes.

    Tobus you can always sew in a four inch square piece of female velcro and make the cell pocket on a piece of male velcro then you could update and change with your phone.

    It sounds like our "Internal Pocket" design sporrans we've been doing for several years:

    No pics of the pocket on the site, but it's big enough for loose change, business cards, credit cards, etc.

    I HAVE done a few special to fit an iphone.

    Re: Special pocketed Sporran

    I like the idea of an external rear phone pouch/pocket but think it might make the sporran project or stick out a bit? (Keep the replies clean).
    I'm all for dividing the interior of a sporran, but what I don't like to see is velcro flaps or zips on the exterior of a sporran. These new utility sporrans are more suited to utility kilts in my view and should not be worn with the standard kilt.
    OK - give it laldy.

    Re: Special pocketed Sporran

    I'm quite interested in Steve's new sporran, I use my SWK night stalker 99% of the time I use a sporran. It's handy beacuse it has enough room and still looks proper enough that people can identify it.
    The hielan' man he wears the kilt, even when it's snowin';
    He kens na where the wind comes frae,
    But he kens fine where its goin'.
