No doubt several on this website are aware of the sporrans I've gone through to try to get it right. For semi-formal (black tie) wear, I now wear a vintage A&S badger mask. This has no storage space to value, so I use the pockets of my jacket to carry a money clip, a thinned-out wallet, car keys, and a comb. I leave my cell phone and house keys in the car, or put the phone in the wife's purse.

That surprises me! I used to have an Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders sergeants/officers badger mask sporran, and the body was a big gusseted pocket, just like normal Day and Eve sporrans, but bigger because the body of the sporran was a tad wider and quite a bit longer than normal sporrans. As I recall the body was the same as the goathair sporran I wear, which is 6 1/2 inches wide and 11 inches long (the body itself, not including the length of the hair).

Maybe that depends on when and who made it. I got mine a few years ago from Bugpiper on eBay. It has Janet Eagleton's name on it. There is a pouch, but it's somewhat of a narrow fit for much.

Yes it's odd. The one I had, and many vintage ones I've seen, were quite larger than our ordinary Day and Evening sporrans, in the size of the pouch itself.
Difficult to get access to, a bit, because you have to pull the head all the way up to get your hand in there. I think it's why you often see excessive wear around the nose.

As a frequent international traveller, I have come to use this, which shields the smart chip in cards from being read and has room for a few bills as well. It fits nicely in a sporran.
