When Lamar Britt made this sporran bag for me, he used buff (undyed) leather. It was actually a hide from a deer that an uncle of his (if I recall correctly) hunted back in the 1950s. Still quite supple, given the age. But very appropriate for a 50s era cantle.


And just a reminder that any of the Ferguson Britt sporrans are available in a variety of shades of leather, including some rather light, tan or "buff" shades.
