Which section are the in? Are they sporrans or what we'd call a bum bag (I think!) in the UK?

**scoutniagara** · 16th October 06, 11:15 AM

Yes, in the UK, they're called "bum" bags; in North America "fanny" packs, but on that site, they're called, "leather waist packs."

I think he means the "bum bags" or Here they are "Hip packs". I am really not a purest, however, there is something to be said about the look of a sporran verses the look of one of those things. I owned something like those back in the 80's when they became popular and though they are pretty convienient I would never wear one with a kilt. If you are looking for an inexpensive sporran there are several copanies on the web that offer "economy" sporrans for about $20-$30 including Stillwater Kilts in Minneapolis.

Yeah I'd agree, I can't imagine those looking that great on a kilt and I don't particularly like the look of them either.

You never know though. Robert, if you have one, post a pic and let us see.

They don't look bad. For casual wear, I would prefer one of those. My sporrans, except for the SWK ballistic one, just don't let me organize things well. Just a single opening that you throw stuff into. A bum bag like these would be perfect, and they are leather as well.

looks like a fanny pack to me..purist or no, I'll not have a fanny pack on my kilt.

**Robert Lamb** · 16th October 06, 11:39 AM

look under purses!!
They are not fanny, bum or hip bags
look back at my original post as I have edited it. SORRY for any indination I have caused.
I am only trying to help the cause...

**MacTavishOfJapan** · 16th October 06, 11:46 AM

Don't worry Robert, no idignation here.

I'm still not sure about the look of them but to each their own. And as I said before, if you do get one ore have one, post a pic, you may indeed help the cause for someone.
