    Re: What's the story on the huge hairy sporrans

    I take a middle road when it comes to the "hairy sporrans." I like the somewhat ragged, unkempt look previously mentioned, but not the full length of the horse-haired versions. Here's one I have in Highland cow hair:



    You can find similar from the same maker here (I'm liking the black bear, and the coyote!):

    Re: What's the story on the huge hairy sporrans

    As regulars here know, I've taken to wearing an Edwardian goathair sporran on all occasions, for example with a charcoal jacket



    and with tweed



    I like bringing back a tad of the panache of the old days. Besides looking great, this sporran is extremely roomy.



    In this I'm just following my piping forefathers... here are some Kilberry pipers back in the day...

    I am not overly fond of horsehair sporrans (although I do like to see them with full WW1 and WW2 kilt kits), and I just don't have the heart to actually wear a full mask sporran. I feel no great need to own a fur sporran of any kind...but I really like the "Cousin It" sporran, Brian! I may have to put one of those on my wish list. Perhaps you might start another thread and do a proper review of it for us?

    Seconded. I want one of those and I'd love to hear and see a review of yours.

    These are example of the type of long hair sporran that I am hoping to someday make for myself.

    Re: What's the story on the huge hairy sporrans

    I'm very happy with my 'Coyote', made by Brice Lythgoe and acquired from KiltedCarver after many travails...
