    I would probably go without, rather than w/ the fur for day-wear. If people didn't wear fur sporrans in the day then there would be no good pictures of them outdoors. A day sporran from SWK would be at your door in about 3 days usually (in the USA). O'Neille

    Welcome!

    I don't know if you are a sizable fellow or not.. I am.. I have wear my sporran a bit on the high side.. That way it stays on top for my belly and doesn't slide under, that causes my kilt to pucker.. I don't want that..

    If fur is all ya got, wear it! Walk tall and proud and no one will notice!

    It's the general rule that fur sporrans are for formal settings. But, I'm actually thinking about making one with some pretty sweet brown faux fur from Hobby Lobby and one of those cantle sets from SWK. And, that would be in an informal setting. Like Ron (Riverkilt) said, there's a bunch of us kilted crazies out there pushing the enevlope.

    As far as proper placement of your sporran, I too will vote for just on the high side. It doesn't flap around as much. Don't concern yourself with wearing your fur sporran as daywear. A good looking sporran is always fashionable. Concern yourself more with fending off the ladies. They are drawn to a kilted lad like moths to the flame.

    I did that. The cantle set is from SWK. I used fabric cement to apply faux fur to some cowhide that I precut. I backed the cantle with red satin so it shows through the lattice.
