Help me a pick a Sporran and belt

I have a Country Sporran, as Dave notes it is really soft and supple leather and holds a lot. It is great for day wear but it is on the plain side for formal wear. I have worn mine with black tie simply because it is the only sporran I have.

Thanks Guys

What is the magnetic-snapon like?

**Cawdorian** · 16th August 06, 08:23 AM

It works very well, it is like the magnetic snaps that are common on women's purses.

My personal preferenece is the RobRoy because it has tassels and does not have the medallion on the flap.

The only thing I don't like about the Rob Roy is the ribbing visible on the outside means there is a rib of leather on the inside taking up a bit of space. I had emailed the company about getting a Country Sporran without the medallion but never received a response.

With the Country Sporran, if you deceide you want tassels, you just punch three holes in the face of the sporran and apply your own tassels whether they be horse hair or make your own leather ones.

They are roomy enough dor most items. I get my wallet in and a large key chain and a pack of gum or a pocket knife. Much more than that and the flap won't lay flat.

The magnet is sufficient to keep the flap from flopping around but not strong enough to hurt a magnetic strip on a creit card or ATM card. It will also not hold the flap so tight that it's difficult to open the flap.

All in all the Buzz Kidders are a great sporran until you upgrade to a Freelander.

Which, so I hear, can now be found at www.freelandersporrans.com

I have seen 2 buzz kidder sporrans in person, and 2 freelanders in person. It would be an obvious choice for me. (freelander by the way)

Please lads you're making me blush

Having said that I no nothing about BK sporrans exept they look nice in pictures. Yes I've heard ours are better it's just I've never seen them in the flesh (Leather)

Buy a BK by all means you can always upgrade a little later. I personally hate sporran hangers they do nothing for the look or hang of the sporran Get yourself a sporran strap
