    Well Done, Steve!

    I've been hoping for these to become available again. Looks like exactly the thing I want for Christmas, I just hope you still have some in stock by the time I can order one!

    That is good news, even if I have one all ready.

    Those refinements are good. Mine needs a needle and the fingers of a surgeon to fix the inner pockets stitching before it gets bad, and the strap loop is a suspect to get a failure some day, and what I have been missing is the pen slot... But the sporran has been a real pleasure especially when travelling. The spring clip for the keys has been perfect to secure hostel (or some other temporary needed) keys but needs two hands to operate it. Can't say anything about the new design keyring in this aspect, but the one-hand-use is definitely an upgrade for every day use.

    For anyone needing sporran not only for the look but for a practical need I can heartily recommend this.

    Just an idea: Would it be possible to arrange that someone ordering it to be delivered to Europe could get it sent directly from Scotland? Thus saving a double crossing of the Pond and customs. The latter if sent to EU customs area.
    If people did not sometimes do silly things, nothing intelligent would ever get done.

    Nice! I have a black and brown of the previous model. They are my go to sporrans. With these improvements these new ones are a great value.

    A very useful design and appearance overall. I do like the snap at the bottom.

    I also have one of the older ones, which has performed flawlessly for me. Like Mael, it's my go-to sporran for daytime wear. I'm glad they'll be available again.

    This is great news, Steve! And what a coincidence that I PM'd you only about a month ago asking about your carry-all sporrans! What model of phone have you got in the photo? It's just a small factor in my overall desire to have one of your sporrans, and nobody knows what the dimensions of my next phone will be, but starting out I'm curious if my iPhone 6 will fit in the "cell phone" sleeve. Not sure if it's possible to have adjustable compartments... probably not. It looks great, and if YOU'RE impressed with the quality I have no doubt I will be.

    Thanks for updating us. This may be my lone Christmas wish list item this year, if the Mrs. will go for it.

    The gusset snap is a great idea. It'll surely irk those who preach that there is simply no need to carry more than a single credit card, a few cash notes, driver's license, a loose car key separated from the carrier's usual cluster of keys, (likewise, a loose house key), and nothing more in the thinnest of sporran. ;)
