He does phenomenal custom work and just might be able to help you, so long as you don't need it next week.
Other than that, I have no idea where to point you, as Sky Highland Outfitters is the only place I've seen selling them, and of late, they seem to be having some serious...issues.
But yes, if you want a truly amazing custom sporran, talk to the Artificer.
What Ryan said. I just received a goat hair sporran from this ebay seller the other week, his ebay store is calle Carse of Gowrie. He currently has three for sale. Here is a link to the one I like best of his offerings: http://cgi.ebay.com/KILT-DRESS-SPORR...item20b3ad693c
The price is not cheap. I bought a model with a different cantle than the link I provided, and decided when I got it to replace the cantle. While I didn't like the cantle, the sporran itself was great, and I thought it was worth the price. Just a suggestion. Hope that is of some help.
