Last bag or my MoD cantle
My fifth attempt at a bag for an MoD sporran cantle, itself somewhat modified. I haven't been unhappy with previous efforts, but there was always something I felt could have been better executed. With enough leather for a strap as well, this is my last go and it's now time to move on to some other Highlandwear projects!

Nice. Would it be possible to take another photo, with a couple of yardsticks , by the sporran, to gauge height and width?

Yes, of course. The sporran measures about 10 inches by 7 inches.
And the inside, raspberry suede:

That is very impressive, well done! I'm sure you'll get years of wear from it with the added bonus that it is truly yours.

Well done, if I didn't know any different I would have sworn that was done by Morrisons sporrans as it is dam near identical to the one they did for me, that's meant as a compliment.
Great piece of work

Cheers Mate, a wonderful complement. I’ll take a comparison with Morrison’s any day!

That's fantastic.
It's amazing how many different sporrans have been created from those old MOD cantles! They've been pierced, engraved, silver-plated, I don't know what all.
And the bags show endless variety and creativity.
