Do you still offer Ferguson Britt sporrans in fur?

[artificer]

Ron,

Yes, we are still carrying FB sporrans. Yes, they are available in fur.

I am a little confused and concerned by your statement that you contacted "another vendor" who said they were "closing out" the FB sporrans, as the Scottish Tartans Museum is the exclusive retail outlet for Ferguson Britt sporrans -- the maker does not sell to anyone else. So if you see another vendor claiming to have FB sporrans, something is amiss there!

From our main gift shop site, go in the menu under "Men's Highland Dress," then "Sporrans," then "Ferguson Britt." Here is a direct link:
http://giftshop.scottishtartans.org/fb_sporrans.html

From that page you'll see each style of sporran, most (but not all) of which are available in fur. Just click on any style to be taken to that order page. The first page you come to will be for that style in plain leather. Assuming that style is also available in fur, there will be a link at the top of the page, just above the item description, that says, "click here for this model in fur." Click there to be taken to the fur order page.

For example, here is the popular Glengyle style in fur:
http://giftshop.scottishtartans.org/glen_gyle.html

The photos you will see with be representative, but we simply do not have photos of every style of sporran made with every possible fur option. But any style can be ordered in any of the listed furs, including bobcat.

I am waiting right now for Ferguson Britt to send us images of each of the available furs so that we can have a "swatch" gallery as we do for the leather colors. Hopefully that will come soon.

These sporrans are generally made to order (right now there is not a long wait). We do, as Ryan said, have some in stock for immediate shipment, including a few fur varieties. If you want to know just what is in stock at any given time, it's best to call the gift shop toll free at 866-898-1192 or just shoot us an email at tartans@scottishtartans.org.

Thanks!

My guess would be that he's referring to THIS page, which is the only other site seen for F/B besides the STM.

Aye, that is the site. The clearance sale must have worked they seem to only have one left.

Was just used to the photos of each sporran available for sale back when. Will plod through this and see what comes up.

My bad - I missed that small font link to the fur...olde olde olde...

Thanks for all the help..will give it another shot....if I can....in the interrum ordered up another leather jacket for the coming winter...just what I need - another jacket...I am so addicted to most anything!

...I think they only ever had two or three to begin with. And this is from years and years and years ago.

Dude marked them up so high that you'd have to be nuts to buy them.

That explains it, I didn't know MacKenzie Frain still had any listed. Ferguson Britt sent ONE shipment of sporrans to MacKenzie Frain years ago (before we started carrying them at the STM).

Currently, I can attest to the fact that the only retail outlet for FB sporrans is the Scottish Tartans Museum.

Ron,

I think you are thinking of the sale page we put up when FB had a number of Glengyles made up which were sold at a discounted price. Those were listed on a page where each was pictured individually.

As for general orders, we've never had every option (in terms of fur or leather color) for every sporran style pictured. We actually have more pictured on our new site than we did on the old.

We do need to add "swatch" pictures of the fur, which we have plans to do.
