 from Chicago. I suspect sealskin was readily available since no place in Scotland is far from the sea. I have a badger sporran (not a full-mask) for dress as well as a Canadian beaver. Matt Newsome has some great fur sporrans on his website and Turpin does an amazing job with badger and other critters.

I'm fairly certain sealskins for sporrans in the UK came from Canada. There are places around the UK where seals are common but around most of the British coast you don't see them.
