Nightstalker nylon cargo sporran ~ A Review

[arrogcow]

Irregular nylon sporrans show up on the Stillwater closeout page from time to time, but I've been wary of buying one. Is anybody here who's gotten one willing to post a review?

I understand that the flaws don't interfere with the usability, but are they noticeable?

On mine, one of the D-rings on the little strap for a belt constantly turns around, not a big deal, but annoying. For a long time I was also pulling thread out of the zipper, it doesn't seem to be attached to anything (I think it is just the small bit of fabric that holds the zipper), and it has finally stopped. The velcro on the inner flap is starting to peel away as well (some fabric glue will fix that). Finally the part that holds the belt strap thing is starting to give.

Now having said all that, I have had this sporran for at least two years now, and wear it quiet often so it has seen heavy use.

I like my cargo sporran as well. I glued the tassels down and they look fine but no "tap, tap."

Sounds like the irregulars are a good deal. I'm gonna try to grab the next one that's available. Thanks, guys!

I will be looking for one soon. The kilt pin is awesome!

Here, as promised, are the photos of the Stillwater Cargo Sporran with the broken belt loop. As you can see the damage is not a simple one to repair as the material comprising the belt loop has torn away from the stitching.





This is what I did to make the sporran usable again.



Not the prettiest of repairs, but my excuse is that I do not have any leather working tools on the ship at the moment, so I used sail-making tools and thread instead. Still, whatever it looks like, I have my cargo sporran back again.

Thanks for posting those Tetley. That's an effective improvisation.
