Canvas alternative to leather sporran suggestion
I have looked at a fair amount of sporrans and have not cared for the look, design or price of them. Then I got to thinking about my paintball playing days and the many trips to the army surplus store. Then it hit me, canvas two pocket ammo pouch. The one I have is od green. I'd post a picture but I don't know how yet. Googling two pocket ammo pouch, yields a lot of ways and places to purchase for less than $15. they also come in black and camo etc.
I just wear it on my belt, but one might be able to attach it more like a traditional sporran if they wish. a nice alternative , maby not so traditional as a sporran. Let me know your comments on this, if you try it, and like it or not. Or brainstormed up another cool alternative.
Canvas sporrans, are bovine approved
Best wishes, MishawakaKilt

If it churns your butter, I say go for it. There have been ammo packs shown as sporran alternatives on former posts. I remember they were used with utility kilts and did look like they belong with the ensemble.
I'm a leather man myself, but admits science does wonderful things in the "pseudo-pelt" genre. If I hunt down those pictures I mentioned before, I'll post the link.

Photo Found
I typed "ammo pouch" in the search box on the top right corner of this page. I scrolled down through the thread listings until I saw a familiar title. Here is a picture of inactive member Fearnest with his ammo sporran.
He is wearing a US Army tartan, is a former airborne member and the photo was taken at a shooting range. I think he pulls off the look well considering his environment.

Depending on your style, admin pouches like this one can work great too. I have one that's similar, but with a zipper instead of a flap, and it would make a perfect sporran.
