    Geeky Sporran

    Ok I am new to the kilted way of life. I am a nerd or geek whichever you prefer. I would like to bring in some of my hobbies into my kilt wearing. So i was curious.

    Are there sporrans out there with nerd tooling? Perhaps something like a day sporran with the shield or tri force from the legend of zelda? Or maybe one with a bass clef tooled into since i play bass.


    Thanks in advance
    Frank

    Nighthawk does some great leatherwork. I bet he would work with you on one.

    I prefer the term "geek" personally. Indeed, I have a navy blue t-shirt with that single word on it that I often wear with my Scottish National kilt. Looks great.

    Anyway, I believe I've seen a pic of a sporran with one of the Transformers symbols on it posted here. But I'm sure it was handmade or custom-made. So if you are able to pay for the personalization, I'm sure you can find someone to attach or emboss or whatever some appropriate symbol onto some leather for you.

    Good luck!

    I remember seeing a few pics of sporrans with Rebel Alliance symbols from Star Wars as well as the Punisher's logo made by Donnie at Wyvern Leatherworks I think.

    They are the third entry or so.

    I'm glad I'm not the only one...I've been wanting a sporran with a Starfleet logo and a mess jacket for my next convention.

    check out donnie's work...

    www.wyvernleatherworks.com

    He can make custom professional sporrans for a reasonable price.

    I like making contemporary sporrans and have gotten nothing but compliments when I've been out and about on "modernising" the traditional look a bit.

    Somewhere on the West Coast (I think) was a pipe band person that used an old Felix the Cat purse as a sporran.
