    Talking New Thorfinn Custom Sporran !

    Very pleased to report that Thorfinn Custom Sporran #224, a medium size Rob Roy in Skunk fur and black leather, showed up at my house yesterday!
    I was on my way out the door to go to a dressy Chistmas party, and thought I'd check the mail on the way, and when I saw Turpin's info on the package, I tore into it on the front porch! I was so excited I actually took off the one I had on and strapped it on before I left!

    Photo's;


    Here's an action shot from the party... sorry about the angle, the photographer had been there longer than us!


    Here's a little bit better one after I got home...


    All fur.


    With the leather flap.


    Interior view of the phone and pen pocket. Can't see it, but there's also a clip in there for keys. It's beautifully made, plenty roomy, and looks really great!

    I've wanted a skunk sporran for a while, and I am very happy with Turpin's work and customer service! We exchanged a couple of emails, set up the payment, and about 3 1/2 weeks later there it was!

    What has two thumbs and is super pleased with with his new sporran?

    Congratulations on the new sporran wear it well. I've had a Thorfinn for years now, they are very roomy and yours looks great with your outfit.

    Handsome bit o' kit there! I think it will serve you well with a variety of outfits and looks . It seems like it would be a pretty versatile sporran.

    Cheers

    A handsome looking sporran there Zardoz, congratulations. As an aside, your watch chain, did you happen to get that off ebay from clovis445? I recently purchased one that looks identical

    Hey now- That is one very cool sporran, sir!

    Turpin showed me a small picture of this, the other night, but the larger ones show it off much better.

    Congrats on a fantastic aquisition.

    Thanks, I got it from Cowboy Emporium, a old west outfitter, but it might be the same guy...
