    Did some one say horsehair?

    All I can say is that If you want a sporran that you wont find on anyone else, Here is the place to go. I do also have to thank Panache for pointing out that your sporran is a focal point of your outfit, and as such you should go with a top of the line one. Well I feel like I have done so and Scott's work speaks for it self.

    Very nice! High quality and one of a kind.

    I caint say I did the black and white shoes though. Everything else fits, but the shoes really distract from the sporran.
    Somebody ought to.

    I must admit that was my thought as well. Great looking sporran and I think the Inverness cape is perfect.

    Congratulations! Well done, Scott. You certainly have keen eye for MacLeay's portraits. Luckily, he painted them with such meticulous detail.

    Thanks all, Great pic Cable Scot!

    Here's a direct pic of the sporran itself.

    It was a treat to make this, as it is all pieces inspired by those that MacLeay so lovingly illustrated.

    A bit more info on the piece-
    modeled after the piece worn by Hugh Graham, as illustrated by Kenneth MacLeay.
    Handmade German Silver Cantle and Hand Formed Cones (for the proper size, which cannot be had today otherwise).
    Full body storage.
