Is there any meaning to the type of fur on your sporran
I know that there is a level of personal preference in the style of sporran worn, and that certain occasions and times of day or night dictate the type of sporran worn (i.e. casual/day, semi-formal or formal). And, I understand that seal was the traditional fur/material used in making sporrans.
Does anyone have any information or history on what wearing one type of fur means as compared to another? Is there anything more to the selection of fur (class systems, clan ranking, nobility, or anything like this)...(beaver vs. fox, bovine vs. rabbit/hare, horse vs. goat, etc., the options are seemingly endless)...or is it just a personal preference?
Just curious...
