great idea, i already made a sporran, with leather top and fur on front,(kinda of semi dress) now I am in the process of making a cantle from the top of steel gift can (thanks to your idea) , I am going to make it so the home made cantle can snap on and off of the top of the semidress and make it full dress, then if you flip the sporran over it will be leather on the other side for the casual sporran look.. like a 3 in one sporran semi , full, and casual .. I hope it comes out as good as the vision in my head.. I have the cantle half made ..
