Rex is a genius . . . of course.
For a gentleman of Jock's standing, I think this style if best. It is tasteful, fairly traditional, and--importantly--not ostentatious. In black leather or deer hide, it would make a very nice evening sporran that any man would be happy to wear. It definitely has a silver cantel, but the catel is not over done.
The sting ray version woul stick out like a sore thumb and appear a bit too modern.
In short, the silver and calf style in black would bespeak of Jock's station in life and enhance his postion. It is somewhat unique, but it's not showy or trendy. It is classy and stylish. A lot like Jock.
