    The day sporrans they make have always been an inspiration for me.

    The fur sporrans aren't exactly my cup of tea .However the quality will be top notch.

    I have two of their sporrans: a black daywear RobRoy that I ordered way to many years ago, and a dress angora formal sporran that I just recently received this past winter. The RobRoy is sturdy and well made, and seen it's fair share of use. The Formal sporran I ordered oversized (slightly), and arrived on time, but with the wrong cantle...no biggie, but worth noting. IIRC, when I spoke with her she mentioned that her husband had made my first order, and I got the impression that he was no longer with us.

    Bryan...I still have to get caught up on the new sgain dubh, two new kilts, and the formal sporran in flicker...

    I'd have to agree. The only time I wore one was very early on when I did not have an appropriate dress sporran. If you want a very nice dress sporran, take a look at the ones P1M wears. It doesn't get much better than that.

    I have two sporrans from Craigie. Same problem with the cantle. But they are really well made and interesting too.
    Mr. Craigie did die a while ago.

    I have to agree with P1M and ByDand, I am not typically impressed with the full face amsk sporrans. Some fur is OK, but the full face ones look like you have an animal growing from your parts.

    I have their wildcat sporran, and for the money it's a bit disappointing. The ears are obviously held up with Bondo, and the front panel is skewed from the back panel. I don't like that they use a soft latigo leather for the body, which results in the sporran not holding its shape properly.

    It really looks nice at the outset, but the details are lacking. All the Bondo in the head makes it really heavy, and it doesn't really hold anything well - except for maybe a driver's licence and a money clip.

    Ah ... Doesn't everyone?

    All kidding aside, I agree. I can see if you actually hunted (because you had to) the animal, otherwise it strikes me as just a converstaion piece - and there are better ways to strike up a conversation.

    Thank you,
