New Day Sporran

[Blaidd]

I too used a stud fastener on my last sporran. I find it an elegant and simple way to secure the flap. Please share with us how you plan to keep leather conditioned, as this question comes up from time to time with new members that obtain older sporrans.

PS. I like brown and tan items (belts, sporrans, shoes, etc) with kilts.

A good question! Like you, I like brown shades. As for the leather, it's something I too will take advice on. Conditioner of some description I suspect, but I bow to those with greater experience than I. Thank you for your kind words though..

That is a wonderful looking sporran, well done. I'm sure it will give you a lifetime of wear.

I have never been completely happy with (some of) the readily available budget day sporrans (lack of carry room) and could not afford to have one of the wonderful bespoke ones. I therefore took it upon myself to make one.
I sought some expert guidance, then proceeded to 'design', draw, cut-out, hand stitch and finish my own. I have to say, I am more than a little pleased with the result. It has a 5cm gusset and I used a Sam Brown's stud to fasten it. I have made the chain rings removable for use with a simple leather belt.

Well done! That is really quite nice. I picked up a "Best Damn Sporran" from the folks at Damn Near Kilt 'Em: Black, rather well constructed and not a budget buster. Hangs a bit low when hung with the hangers clipped to the rings on the beltloops of a utility kilt so... I rejiggered the mounting method a bit and it is much better. Not sure about the capacity just yet. It does have lots more room than my other two, though.

Excellent work! I'm also a fan of solid, sort of plain but well crafted leather things. I like it, especially your nice sewing job, which is a LOT harder to do well by hand that most folks realize. I'll have to practice a lot before I try sewing one of these!

Apologies for the tardy response but thank you all for your kind comments.
