SNEAK PREVIEW - New Economy Sporrans!

[M. A. C. Newsome]

Matt,
What's the size on the deluxe model? That is sweet!

Sorry, should have mentioned. Same as the Heritage Daywear sporran but with a wider gusset, I believe about 2". (It's late at night and I don't have it with me).

[M. A. C. Newsome]

Matt,

Are these prototypes or are these the final product? Not sure if you're looking for constructive criticisms...

Cordially,

David

David,

Always room for improvement if you want to send some suggestions.

Any chance you will be selling leather sporran straps to go with these? Not the hangar style but the one that are just like the chain but instead are just made of leather. I have seen several at several different sites but they always seem to be a different color of brown than the sporrans I want to wear them with. I really like the Dark Brown "Country Squire" sporran that one is going to be my next purchase if you all sell a matching dark brown sporran strap to go with it.

Yes, these are available as a separate purchase. We've had these for some time and you can purchase from the web site now:

(They are about half way down the page).

Head's up gang!

We are working on a pretty major revision of the gift shop part of our web site. I can't tell you when it will go live, but I did want to let you know of an exciting new line of economy sporrans we will be adding.

Will these updates and changes allow you to make adjustments to the way shipping charges are currently tallied?

Thanks

They look great. I am thinking about it - once our postal strike is resolved

Currently shipping charges are calculated by the order total, and allow you to choose between USPS Priority Mail and FedEx Ground/Home delivery (with free shipping being offered for orders over $200).

International shipments are by USPS International Priority Mail only and no free shipping amount, due to the higher cost of shipping internationally.

We are glad to offer overnight or 2-Day shipping, but obviously that works only for items we currently hold in stock and since a lot of what it on our gift shop site is made to order, and even non-custom items cannot be guaranteed in stock at all times, we don't want to list that option on our web site because we are afraid it would give the impression that our entire catalog is available for overnight shipping. So that's best done by phone so that we can verify what you need is available.

We had not really planned on adding other shipping options beyond this, but if anyone feels that there is a shipping option that is missing that our customers might benefit from, please let me know and it will be considered. (Maybe start another thread so as not to hijack this one).

Folks, I saw them in person at the STM.. they're a great deal for the quality of leather and construction.

I got a look at these a couple of days ago, and let me tell you- they're really nice. And an excelent value, too, for any kilty that wants a functional sporran, but especially for those who are looking for their first sporran and want something that looks good, performs well, and has a low price point.

Excellent! I'll for sure be buying a brown Country Squire sporran.
