    A new source for interesting sporrans....

    If you like different sporrans, give this link a shot

    They call them dress sporrans, but I think day is more appropriate. Interesting closure devices and nice use of horsehair tassels....

    They look somewhat similar to 'dressed up' Freelanders.

    I'm familiar with Arrow Leather. Their stuff is "sturdy but cheap," and one might be disappointed with the edge finish on some of their leather goods. I've got two belts from them that get used pretty regularly.

    I'm not thrilled with some of their dye-color choices for the leather, but the blacks and browns are fine.

    That said, I regularly send students to buy flint-and-steel kits from them to learn how to make fire.

    They look pretty well made, and have a nice selection. But... wait for it... "They're just not my BAG! " *RIMSHOT*
