Ok here we go all measurement approx but pretty accurate:

Width across the top of the sporran: 150mm
Width across the widest part of the sporran: 180mm
Height from top to bottom: 200mm
Depth when empty: 45mm (+20mm for buckle assembly)
Depth when full at deepest point: 75mm (or as full as I've made it, think it could get) (+20mm for buckle assembly)

Would recommend not filling it up to much as it will spoil the clean lines the design has.

Hope this was helpful

Conversions, for us non-metric sorts:

150mm = ~ 6 in
180mm = ~ 7 in
200mm = < 8 in
45mm = ~ 1 3/4 in
75mm = ~ 3 in

Philip -- Thanks for the info! These sporrans have caught my eye in the past; I'm glad you're now a proud owner!

That is a great looking sporran!

I love it! That would look great with a 21st Century kilt!

Okay drifted over to the website...interesting designs for sure, nice to see creativity...

Just WHY oh WHY do sporran makers HIDE the size of their wares??? This one too...so few are courteous enough to include sporran SIZE with their products.

If they think we trust them....no way, learned long ago there are "creative" merchants out there....even when a size is given it somethimes doesn't match [aka Duluth Trading Company and Sportsman's Choice]...but ISN'T THE MOST BASIC THING ABOUT A SPORRAN WHAT SIZE IT IS??? Can I get my hand inside? [Sorry Buzz Kidder] Will it hold what I need it to hold? Will it look tiny against my massive girth?

I remain baffled that sporran vendors consider the size of their sporrans such a secret....and NO, they're not all the same.

Rant over,

Ron

I must say, that's a really nice looking sporran.. A nice combination of "new and old".

Bravo for the find!

I am in the market for a day sporran but after buying one on line that turned out to be so stiff that I can't get it snapped, I am leary of buying without trying. Supple leather and a size to carry the necessarys are very important. Your's looks as if it fits both my requirements, I haven't been to the website yet but will after posting this.
