On the contrary. When I see a larger fellow with a smaller sporran, I'm always reminded of a codpiece*. That's just how it appears to my eyes, and there really is no changing that fact... not that there's anything wrong with codpieces.
*Codpiece- a covering flap or pouch that attaches to the front of the crotch of men's trousers and usually accentuates the genital area. It was held closed by string ties, buttons, or other methods. It was an important item of European clothing in the 15th and 16th centuries.
