    Usually I observe these vintage sporrans rather than buying them!

    Because I really don't need more sporrans.

    But this one was so well-made, understated, classic, and inexpensive that I just had to get it.

    I'll post a photo of it being worn once I get it.

    It has the typical oval gold stamp "Made In Scotland Real Leather" on the back.

    I'm definitely no sporran expert, but I know quality when I see it. That thing looks fantastic Richard, congratulations.

    Thanks!

    Couldn't pass it up, it was $35 including shipping from Scotland.

    That stitching is so clean, so well done.

    Now I just need a nicer tweed jacket! But vintage tweed kilt jackets in size 50R very rarely come up. I've only seen two over the last decade and I bought them both. One has a bit of mothing, it's presentable. The other has moth-holes all over it, looks a bit shabby, and has become my "beater" kilt jacket, for Rugby matches and so forth.
