    New Line of Sporrans

    I'm pleased to announce that the Scottish Tartans Museum gift shop is now offering the Ferguson Britt line of hand crafted sporrans!
    http://giftshop.scottishtartans.org/sporran_fb.html

    These sporrans are each individually hand crafted by L. Adron Britt, made from the finest elk, deer, and furs. Folks, I've got one of these myself in a black Quebec beaver that is just butter!

    A lot of his designs are based on Jacobite-era sporrans. All are fully lined with elk suede. Any can be made to either fit on a normal sporran belt or hang directly from your kilt belt, whichever your preference.

    I've got a few in stock here in the shop to serve as both show peices as well as sporrans for those last-minute shoppers who are in a hurry. However, by and large these will be custom made-to-order so you'll have to allow a few weeks for delivery time.

    Oh, and speacial note to Ron -- I have included deminsions next to each sporran description!

    You just gotta check them out!

    Very interesting sporrans there.

    You're killing me Matt. I may never get my credit card balance completely paid off.

    Excellent! I like the Highland Warrior model. I guess I know what I'll be saving for next

    Great to see the museum expanding. But, I must admit, I am not partial to any of the styles offered. I'm sure they are very well made though.

    I like them, especially the woven leather detailing. Although on a few it seems a little much.

    But at the price its barely in my dreams sooo...

    Very nice Matt! I hope they sell well.
