My Nightstalker is currently the only sporran I own. I wear it daily (kilt or no) and it also is fraying, but it is in no way a fault of the construction.
This thing has been worn constantly over the last year, commuting to and from work, constantly being shifted back and forth. For the price and the use I get out of it, I will be replacing it with another when it does wear out! (though I will repair the loop too!)
I am also one of those that asked Jerry to make a leather one as well, and I know I will get one of those as well!
Thanks Jerry!
