    Perhaps these photos will embolden you to wear your dad's fantastic old hair sporran more often, Colin.

    Wondeful photos, Colin! I have seen only one of what you posted, so I am delighted to see more pictures from different angles. I definitely like the look of His Grace's salmon buttons on the Argyll style jacket...quite striking and very unique.

    Cheers,

    Perhaps... I love that thing, but it tends to get more attention than I do when I wear it




    That being said, a long hair sporran is an excellent accessory for those times when one wants to stand out a bit!

    Hahaha! Well said.

    I've always admired your horsehair sporran, Colin. I sold my bespoke L&M horsehair sporran a few years ago. I found that my tastes and personal preferences changed and I was no longer keen on wearing it. Don't get me wrong, it was a beautiful sporran and I did enjoy many uses out of it, but it was time for it to move on to someone else who would wear it more often.
