Good advice on the Freelander, I have two. Also consider the inexpensive Stillwater nighstalker out of ballistic nylon. Find myself wearing it all the time. Still hoping Jerry makes them in brown nylon and black and brown leather someday. Just something about the convenience of the zipper that makes it easier.
I've also bought some pouches that are like 9"x9" to carry a lot of stuff when needed hiking or to games. I just wear them as a sporran in front.
Had April at April's Carpetbags sew up a custom buffalo hide with hair sporran that I like a lot because I had her sew it to the size I wanted.
Also, have two Native American made soft pouches that I found that work well as sporrans too.
Think some folks find a sporran-like pouch in camera stores or hardware stores. Some folks wear the old fanny packs in front.
I have trouble getting my ham hocks inside the top of some of the basic sporrans.
Then of course you can ditch the sporran all together wearing a vest with enough pockets to carry your stuff, a jean jacket if you're going casual, or a bomber style jacket in cooler weather.
Or wear a contemporary kilt with cargo and other pockets built in.
