Sporran noise -- Clippity-Clop....

[bubba]

A dab of silicon sealer on the back of each tassele to stick it down works great.

I, like Glen, like the drumming effect of the tassles. However, if you find it bothersome, I suggest removing them... I'm assuming that the flap will cover the holes. Done carefully, it should be possible to re-attach them at such future time that they are needed or appropriate. Alternately, purchase a cheap plain sporran with no tassles. To my way of thinking, the drumming of the tassles is no different than "zip-zip" sound of corduroy trousers or the swishing of a nylon jacket. I just don't think about it.

What can look good in the shop window-and be fine for occasional wear-can be a no no for day to day use.

I cut them off and am left with a smart leather sporran, think here the regimental plain sporrans.

I'm with James here, and cut them off long ago. I guess some folks like the sound, but others (like me) are driven mad by it.

I didn't like it at all on my first sporran. But that one was a hard leather variety. The one I have and use now is a softer leather, one of the buzz kidder rob roys ordered from USAK. It's [the thumping sound] a little more subdued on this one, as the leather is softer.

So now, as the others have said, I think of it more as a cadence, or keeping up the beat for me to walk to. I rather enjoy it.

Rick,
If you don't like them cut them off. They serve no purpose today, except decoration. With the cookie cutter sporrans, and the hard leather they can be annoying. If you’re going to go kilted a lot maybe you should get a sporran that really serves it purpose.

Like perhaps a Freelander Sporran?!?

Sorry, unashamed plug here. I'll stop now.

I'm just looking forward to one that actually holds stuff.

Bubba, that is a great simple idea! My way requires new tape every week or so.

Glen, for normal around town, etc. I don't mind it, but in an office situation as you are walking around, all the cubicle dwellers poke their heads out to see what the noise is. The corduroy and nylon jacket usually are not loud enough for others to take notice.

I like the drumming sound, too. If you don't, go with Bubba's silicone idea.

They sell black silicone sealer in the automotive section of most big department stores.

I love the drumming effect of my first shop bought day sporran. However the click-click of antler isn't that bad either.

Blu Tack is whats best you can just remove it if you do find you like the sound or want to go in steath mode
