Show me your sporrans if you would.

I really like the sporrans Ryan and Thistledown have, 18th century style, but it appears to be all-leather, with in effect a leather cantle instead of the usual brass cantle. And Ryan's waistbelt buckle is fantastic- looks to be right out of the 18th century as well.

Thanks very much, good sir! And yeah, I have to tell you, these sporrans are fantastic- couldn't ask for better materials, craftsmanship, durability, or functionality. They come highly reccomended, from me.

...and as an aside, I was pretty excited when I found that buckle, let me tell you! Hand cast pewter, but an alloy that seems to be quite tough and hard- no bending of any sort. $30 wasn't a bad price either, I didn't think. They can be had here:

...I wasn't fond of the fact that it was marketed as a piece of pirate kit(no offence at all to pirates, of course...Arrrrrrr!!!), as I don't want folks to think I'm in some sort of costume, but I thought it looked old-school without looking too flashy or over the top.

I'm REALLY into hair sporrans these days-And I mean the horse and long hair goat type. Here are the 2 i'm wearing for EVERYTHING these days-

Thinking of "all occasions" sporrans, here is my Ferguson Britt going from casual to formal. clicky to enlarge:


It has a black leather cantle, and blue iris mink fur. I had my eye on the black mink that Jamie wears, but a certain flame-haired goddess got to it first. However that worked out best for all concerned, because I fell for this one as soon as I saw it.

Lovely Ken... I just love those Ferguson Britt sporrans.

About a sporran for all modes of dress, and specifically the use of horsehair sporrans for all modes of dress, it once was that way...



Ya gotta love those deer's head hose! The ideal hose for a MacKenzie.

Here is a pic of my Wyvern sporran with my coat of arms.
