    Are those available with black leather instead of brown? If so, that might be right up my alley, even if they cost more than I was wanting to spend.

    Edit: Nevermind, I just realized McFarkus's beaver fur sporran has black leather.

    The Skunk is Black Leather, check out the link in my post. You can also customize your own sporran.

    I just realized that you and McFarkus have ones with black leather. I apologize. My monitor at home is less than stellar when it comes to color differentiation!

    I had my dream sporran made a year or so ago. It is made of long white goat hair, with three tassels, and a sterling silver cantle bearing my shield. the bells on the tassels are silver, as well. I wanted a goat hair sporran that will become an heirloom, and that is what I got. It wasn't cheap, but I will treasure it always. It certainly is very traditional, but I can understand that it isn't for everyone.

    That is very nice! Not quite my style, but excellent all the same!

    A little inspiration from Zakk Wylde perhaps?

    IMHO, there's a simplicity about this sporran that lets the real beauty of the materials shine. Truly one of the best I've seen.

    I have a Ferguson Brit sporran in black mink and I have a full mask raccoon sporran.

    But to me, the sporran that looks best with black and white tie is going to be a fur/hide sporran with a silver/chrome cantle

    This is mine in black and white calf skin



    Cheers
