Sporrans....

**Mattg** · 23rd March 06, 11:46 AM

Hey guys,
Could someone point me in the direction of a low priced sporran? I'm trying to get all set up for my first kilt and keep the price tag as low as possible so I don't hear too many objections from the wife:rolleyes: I remember someone mentioning something in a different thread but I can't for the life of me find it or remember it.

Buzz Kidder makes a line of reasonably low cost practical sporrans. The Scottish tartans Museum and USA Kilts are two of the dealers that sell them.

What are you looking for, a plain black leather one? A versatile one that will carry a lot, or just the cheapest you can find?

I would check out the Buzz Kidder Day Sporrans

USA kilts
Buzz Kidder
Stillwater

all carry them.

If you buy a cheaper sporran you are giving up quality and will regret it later.

Basically for now I just want something cheap. But I'm not going to buy a piece of junk either. I guess I'm looking for around $30-40...but we'll see. Personally, I'd spend more...but...:rolleyes:

I would suggest checking out the ones at www.scottishkilts.net than. You can find a few good ones in the $40ish range. I know I will get slack for this.....Buzz Kidder sporrans seem to get a lot of good feedback, but the since seeing one in person, I have to say i wasn't impressed. That's just me though. I find the shape a bit odd.

Those are nice, and a good price too.

The Buzz Kidders are very utilitarian but the leather is thick, you wont get the drumming quite as much as with the more rigid leather sporrans and they will see you thru many different out fits. I love both of mine. It would be nice if there was a satin insert for the BK's though.

Here is a shot of my black BK. I have the same one in brown which is actually my favorite right now.

Food for thought: if you spend a wee bit more on a good quality sporran, you won't have to replace the cheaper one you might buy down the road. Think of it as investment. A well-made sporran, such as a Freelander (shameless plug!) will last longer than a cheap one, and you won't have to spend more money down the road.

My wife likes that arguement! :mrgreen: Try it, it might just work.

Cheers,

Todd
