Anyone seen these sporrans?

What kind of hair are those tassles made of?

oatmeal savage? wasn't there a poster on here that went by that name??

I believe there was! http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/s...oatmeal+savage And if I recollect rightly (IIRR! HA!) he looked pretty good when he wore a kilt, too.

Probably horsehair

I have to take my Balmoral off and bow to the mastery of Steve Harris' work!
I've got a long way to go to reach that level of skill. Gives me something to strive for.

Thanks Dave, actually that is where I got the picture. I was just wondering if anyone was familiar with them before I called David. They carry a hefty price...$295 , but they do look really nice.

They look nice and I'm sure took some work but I frankly don't see them as such a step above more pedestrian day sporrans from the likes of Janet Eagleton ( http://www.scottish-sporrans.co.uk/sporrans.html ) or the Nicoll Bros Bankfoot that was--- but perhaps some of the patterns will hopefully be resurrected by Margaret Morrison. There is, I think, a measure of elegance to their "more classic" (regimental inspired) designs. Its how sporrans have looked for longer than the last century. The Steve Harris sporran is fine but a bit too.. Rob Roy meets Tony Lama.

I couldn't agree with you more when I am dressed. I own six or seven "classic" sporrans but I am looking for a more casual look for a more casual outfit. Obviously not cheap but casual. The kilt is going to be a Olive Drab from Freedom Kilts (my first non-traditional by the way) I have been looking at the Freelander sporrans and then I saw these from Steve Harris.

I spoke with Charles from Oatmeal Savage today (yes I was calling him David) earlier in this thread...oops) he has a few more of these sporrans and he will send me pics which I will post when I get them. All of then are different apparently and Mr. Harris also does custom work so I might check into that.

Nice looking sporrans. I like my Black Calf from Sportkilt though.
