    Iain, I looked it over with a ruler in hand and came up with these internal dimensions;

    1-3/4 inches front to back. (thick ?), 8 inches top to bottom, and 7 inches side to side at the widest point.

    Based on most of the examples I've seen, I figure it is "average" sized for this style of sporran. But I guess it depends on how fat your wallet is! One of the adjustments I made after I started wearing the kilt more than p@nts was to replace my big fat 'trucker style' wallet with a slimmer tri-fold style, and I make an effort not to keep so much crap in it!
    I got this sporran for it's look, not capacity, but yesterday in a pinch I carried the tri-fold wallet, a car key, small digital camera, folding knife, and a flip phone in it, but it was pretty packed! If I knew I was going to carry all that I would have brought along one of my roomier Buzz Kidder sporrans, which can handle all that and more!

    I really like the tooling that was done on it! For the price, it's pretty good looking. (I could do better... but I'd charge more, too! )
