    Cheap Day Sporran??

    Hey everyone-

    Just wanted to get some feedback on where I can find a good quality, inexpensive day sporran to wear with a solid black kilt. I'm not sure if I only want leather or not, but if you have suggestions as to alternative materials ,that are fairly cheap, please let me know as well. Thank you!!

    Check out Stillwater Kilts, they have a great nylon cargo sporran and some cheap plain black ones.

    See this thread:
    http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/s...ad.php?t=22697

    So, what do you plan to use it for, what style and price is acceptable?

    Basic favorite around here: Nightstalker from Stillwater

    My Favorite: Buzz Kidder's sporrans, EXCELLENT quality for the price!
    Roomy, soft thick leather, traditional looks, all for less than $60.

    Well as I said I got the Black Economy SWK. I'll probably wear it with either a white or khaki shirt with matching hose and flashes. So, I didn't know if just a black leather would look best or perhaps a grey or white rabbit fur.

    I'm on the stillwater bandwagon. All my sporrans so far are from Jerry and even my kilt belt.

    Here is the cheapest: http://www.stormpay.com/stormpay/use...U5BJnc9aSZ0PWE

    It's black and costs $14, usually selling on eBay and in Edinburgh for 3 times that or more. I have no idea about the quality, but guess it would withstand the 20 foot challenge.

    Thanks Gilmore and the rest, I appreciate it. I think I've got a better idea than what I had to start with.

    Cheap is quite subjective....

    The Stillwater does have a great nylon cargo sporran as other folks mentioned.

    I have one of Stillwater's 3 tassle sporrans. Personally I wish I waited to buy a Buzz Kidder. I eventually got a celtic knot Buzz Kidder (from USA Kilts) and like it alot better. The BK is slightly larger and has much softer leather. To me, it's worth the difference ~15 vs 50.
