How to chose the right sporran

[KWD]

If you're not wearing evening wear (black tie or white tie), you don't generally want to wear a fur sporan, unless it's an animal mask sporan.

I have an L&M leather sporan which is nice. Something that sets it apart from cheaper sporans is how much will fit into it. It's like this:

If you click that link you'll see they have categories of sporans on the left. Any sporan that looks similar to any they have in the "black leather" category would be appropriate (even if it was brown leather). Any of the ones they have in the "dress sporans" category would not be appropriate.

I really like the look of that Sporran, how does one purchase it? it says "Only available through retailers"

You should get one of these: Cavscout has linked to it already (indirectly) and it goes perfectly with a dark coloured kilt.

The Stillwater Cargo Sporran is the most versatile sporran you'll ever own, I have three in brown, black and nylon. I waited two years for the leather ones to become available again and when they did I bit Jerry's hand off so get 'em while you can. They cost a bit in duty and admin charges after they were siezed by UK customs but I suppose that doesn't apply to you.

You'll need a brown sporran strap to go with it as they don't come supplied. I would suggest an all leather strap rather than a chain because in my opinion they look better. You can get one here

Here in the States you can order that particular sporran from John Higgins -- jhiggins.net. He calls it "Rory" on his website.

I don't know if he sells the rest of their stuff or not. I sure do like the hunting sporrans they sell with the metal cantles. I see a lot of pipers wearing them.
