Sporran noise -- Clippity-Clop....

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.
