    Again... I can't stress enough teh quality for the price of the Buzz Kidder sporrans. With Freelander, they're the absolute BEST value in sporrans.
    I second Jimmy's reccomendation. Buzz's sporrans are made well, of good quality leather that is thick, yet soft, and have a much larger holding capacity than any Scottish import sporran I have seen.

    And, for the money, they are an excellent value. These are the sporrans that we keep stocked on our gift shop shelves. The more expensive dress or semi-dress sporrans you see listed on our web site are typically ordered on an as-need basis (though we like to keep a couple in stock for display).
    http://giftshop.scottishtartans.org/sporran.html

    The reason is that we easily sell 10 of Buzz's sporrans for every one of the others.

    I wear a kilt nearly every day (every day I am at work, anyway), and for daily wear I have a Buzz Kidder brown rob roy style. I can't tell you how long I've had it, but it's been a while. Still wears great. It's what I'm wearing in the picture on my web site:
    http://www.albanach.org

    All I've done with it is added a crest badge to the front flap, which I did simply by pinning it through the leather.

    I wear a brown one because I have another hair-sporran I use for formal wear. If I didn't, I'd probably wear a black one and use it for both formal and informal occasions.

    Personally, I favor simpler designs, nothing over-the-top or too fancy. So these sporrans fit the bill.

    Aye,
    Matt

    I like the idea of attaching the pin, Matt. I had thought about something similar for evening wear - I would affix a pin (such as my new X-Marks, yay!) for a little flash.

    It's funny, I used to go shopping with my wife and give her grief when she was looking at 8-10 purses at one store - now I am looking at black and brown sporrans, and matching straps - so now the purse is on the other foot!!! She thinks it's hilarious, as do I, but now I understand!!!

    It has drawn us closer together.....

    My favourite sporran is my Buzz Kidder Rob Roy in brown. I also have a BK Country in black which doubles for evening wear.
