Whatever you choose, sporran or no, wear it with pride!!!
Lux,
I've been thinking about the Nighstalker as well, seems like a great value. Right now I have a very basic leather from SWK that I got for $15 with belt and chain, a great deal, and not a bad sporan either!

For looks and functionality-> the $60 ones at the Scottish Tartan Museum of Franklin, NC (Matt's place)
They are a bit more than the proscribed $40 cap, but these are
ACTUALLY USEABLE
and also look good
I have a black
COUNTRY SPORRAN
BK16(c) $59.95
Which I really love.
The older black one (like in many Scottish attire catalogues) I used to use is virtually useless by comparison. It is so stiff and narrow (front to back) that I canna git me han in it (sorry, slipped into P1M's dialect for a moment).
Seriously, this sporran is WELL worth the extra $20. It is my main sporran and the pattern one for the ones I am -attempting- to make myself (I hope I am not upsetting its creator, but your sporrans are THE GREATEST I'VE EVER USED OR EVEN SEEN!!!!!!). Two more of these (a brown one, a black tassled one, and an "inverness" one are on my short list for new "kilt items."

Hey Sourcerdale,
Stillwater Kilts has a inexpensive sporran for $15...I believe it's a close out. check out:

I actually bought one the other day. It's okay and very stiff. For the $, it seems like a good first item.
Cheers,
...I had just noticed Mystic wolf said the same thing a few posts earlier...:confused: I should read the entire post before moving onward :rolleyes:

I bought my sporran off of E-bay and totally love it, and still talk to the guy who made it.
He does historically oriented leather work, and if you drop him a line and tell him your price range he can probably whip something out which you would be very happy with.
Here's my sporran made by him, I can't find his e-mail, but his E-bay ID is "leathermandbh"
Wear your kilt proudly, but carry a big stick

Great looking sporran. Looks like real stiff leather though?
