It is really soft leather. In hind sight, I think the leather is a wee too light weight. This is the 4th sporran I have done in that style, and I have yet to pick the perfect weight leather. Two of the 4 are made from 5 ounce suede... looks very nice, but the slightest bit too thick. The other was done in a 4 ounce leather, which is still too thick.

I've got more garment weight leather (sourced from dismantling some thrift store leather skirts) sitting here. There's maybe enough for 3 more sporrans. After those are done, I'm going to shop for some 2.5 ounce leather and try that. I figure it out eventually.
As for any speciialty pockets... I'll try my hand at those as soon as I figure out the leather weight thing.


BTW... I had a thought. Instead of slicking the flap edge on the sporran pictured here, how would it look if I took some dye and did the edge. I have black dye, and I think it would look good.
