    It's not a "half knot." It's a "single overhand knot," or the first step in tying a square knot.

    If you snug the sporran into "fully drawn closed" by the drawstrings (not the flap cord) and just toss a single overhand on it, it generally won't "flop".

    No worries. For over a decade, the only sporrans I wore were the drawstring type, like the Freelanders.

    Either a bead on the drawstring or a single overhand knot will suffice to secure them.

    Driving with one that's loaded, though, is interesting. The steering wheel always wants to rub on the flap button/toggle, which makes for highly interesting sensations as one turns a corner, and the ribs on the steering wheel grip "rattle" the sporran.
