Now THAT is nice...not a big fan of the fur but that's very distinctive.

Thanks AA!

The fur was a conscious decision. It is Australian possum, which since its introduction to NZ has caused havoc in our fragile ecosystem. Hence, the NZ possum fur. I also like it, which I guess is important!

I agree John!

Artificer has seriously exceded my expectations (which were already high, based on pics of his other awesome work)!

Cheers,

Today i got a "sporran", in reality a medieval belt bag from a outfitter for the medieval community in Germany. I won't name them because of my experiences.

In short. I ordered it at the end of february. After several weeks and 3 emails, that weren't answered I filed a complaint with Paypal, and whoosh it suddenly materialized.
But no word of excuse, not explanation, nil. But I can't complain about the product itself.

Here are the pictures:

My new sporran I've built to go along with my new Gordon Nicholson Ulster tartan kilt

That said, here are my main three sporrans:

This one was made by my wife. It's not a very good picture (that's her hair blocking part of the photo). It's my favorite sporran. It holds everything I need.

Wow! I like that a lot! Is there a pattern for that?!?! That's just awesome!

That IS a fine sporran, indeed. Inspired, if I remember correctly, by this line of sporrans: http://giftshop.scottishtartans.org/fb_sporrans.html

...of which I am a big fan.

My first, arrived today. Being a piper who is also in the military (although not explicitly for my piping, hence not being issued one) i just had to. I have a more 'conservative' sporran coming with my kilt next month...!
