When I go out I need a place for my drivers licence, debit card, cash, cell phone, smokes, and 60 year old Zippo. A mere leather sack just doesn't get it done.

    I'd also recommend Thorfinn sporrans. Turpin worked with me to make a custom set of pockets for the stuff that I carry and the workmanship is beautiful. I couldn't have lived without my SWK Nightstalker, but a handmade leather sporran is a big step up from mass produced. Check out his webpage for details.

    Eagle Creek makes a variety of small bags in nylon that can be used as sporrans. They tend to be of high quality.
