Casual to semi-dress Sporran

[Arlen]

So after four or five failed attempts at dying some sheepskin Joe Gondek sent me I gave up and took it somewhere to be professionally died.

In the meantime, I got a button from a badly ripped Prince Charlie and rabbit skin from a badly damaged full dress sporran and a plain brown casual sporran and combined them to make...






I'm quite happy with it. I think it looks good, it's comfortable and I feel like I have a much more versatile sporran, now.

The best part, the whole lot cost 2 pounds and an hour of work.

Looks good Arlen, classes up the sporran quite a bit. Good on ya.

Very ingenious Arlen - well done!

That looks great! I been searching high and low for a sporran that looks like that. they dont seemed to be easy to find.

That looks great!!!

Did you attach the fur over top of the existing leather or replace it?

[James MacMillan]

Sure does go with that tartan!

[Arlen]

Thanks for all the compliments, guys.
The skin was fairly thin so I just attached it to what was there using epoxy and making sure to sew then tuck the edges so there wouldn't be any fraying.
I had to drill into the rivet catch so that I could epoxy the button into it but it's turned out very solid and I'm happy with it.

I think it looks very nice. and you can't beat the price

[Joe Gondek]

I was wondering if you had gotten that sporran done

It turned out great and really changed the look of the sporran
