SWK Leather Cargo Sporran Update

I'm beginning to wonder if these will be the only leather nightstalkers ever sold by Stillwater.

Jerry,
Please tell us that Riverkilt got one he will be impossible to deal with untill he has one

Isn't that the truth

I'm beginning to wonder if these will be the only leather nightstalkers ever sold by Stillwater.

Let's hope not. Hopefully the speed at which they sold will convince him to keep the project going.

Guys, that loud moan you heard from east of you was me just finding out about this now. Man this 9.5 hour time zone difference from the U.S. is a killer. I guess I will just wait a couple of more weeks for the new ones to come in. I am planning on having my bride bring a kilt with her when she comes to visit me in India at the end of next month.... I has been too darn long in P**TS.

Well darn, I don't come in a check for one weekend and I miss out yet again. Guess more waiting for me also.

[Riverkilt]

Dang, how'd I miss this thread!!??

Okay....wait....I can do this...

the funny thing is Grant could not order one, even though he knew about it mind you, as they were in the clearance items and clearance items do not ship to Canada.

So I'm at the post office picking up the usual stack of holiday catalogs and there's a card to pick up a package.

I don't have anything on order. Figure its a mistake. Go get it and its a box...just the right size....from Jerry at Stillwater kilts....could it be???

There's a hand scrawled note on the box that says, "Do Not Open Until Christmas"

Well...hey....everyone knows Christmas was a long time ago so what the heck....

Inside...you guessed it...black and beautiful...elegant even. Immediately noticed some improvements over the nylon....like the tassles are VERY soft and hang from a double strap instead of a single.

And the smell...you'd think my cat and I were BOTH in catnip....

Thank you sir. You have an excellent product here.

Maybe its just me that has trouble with other forms of closures on sporrans...but zippers work best for me.

Gonna wear it to work tomorrow for sure and get some pics.

And....I wanna place an order for a brown one too....puleeze.....

Oooooooooooooo I didn't know that. Now how to spell this?

Something like:

Nanny nanny nu nu - - - - - nanny nanny nu nu :butt:

Okay, have pretty well tested this leather zippered sporran critter the past ten days.

Same convenience as the nylon for sure. The front wallet pocket seems just a hair smaller than my nylon one so actually keeps my wallet a bit snugger, but still easy to get in and out. Being leather figure it will stretch a bit with time.

Main difference I notice is the leather feels softer. I sit a lot and the leather feels more natural in my lap. Its a soft leather so its not like the hard leather sporrans that feel like a book in my lap. Its even softer than the nylon so instead of laying on me it seems to sort of follow my form.

The soft tassels don't make as much noise when I walk..and they look more authentic to me than the tassels on the nylon version. They still "thunk" a bit, but not as loud.

Then there's the "new car/sporran" smell of leather. Drove down to Hopi yesterday and I kept wondering where the leather smell was coming from in the car...then remembered...new leather sporran in my lap.

And, I didn't feel the need to move the sporran to one side when I drove. That's a first for me.

Jerry has himself a winner here for sure.

Wondering if maybe it'll also eventually come in a light brown/tan AND a dark brown?

Just checked Jerry's site - still no leather version for us.
