    I would never buy anything with fur or fur trim, due to the cruelty aspect.

    I feel the same now, but the horror of the fur trade came about recently and I already had leather goods. I now will buy neither, nor do I eat meat.

    I've several, from custom zebra mane hunter by Artificer, zebra by Bryce, wolverine by Lamar Britt, and a badger bought from Rocky, to a couple different color [unspecified marine mammal] fur and a couple bovine skin, to a primitive non-taxidermied coyote face flap leather bag day sporran---yes, worn regularly and most frequently of all the varieties I have.

    All harvested legally. I eat meat. I wear leather shoes and belts. I have no problems with those who chose to do differently, and hope they feel the same about me.

    I've had an L&M brown rabbit sporran for years. I wear it most every day. I had one all leather sporrans, but gave it away as I never wore it.

    Perhaps I need to be a little more specific; since there are lot's of furry things to strap around our waists ... and some quite lovely ones too. But I have in mind a sporran much like this (although not masonic). http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/EX-DISPLAY...p2056016.l4276

    Do any of you see yourselves wearing it with a nice daywear rig?

    I don't recall seeing that combination in the old days: tassels from an Evening Dress sporran put on a Day Dress sporran. Doesn't look quite "right" to my eye, probably because I spend so much time looking at vintage things.
