Marvelous looking sporrans gents! I am indeed fond of the look, and plan on commissioning Kate Macpherson to complete a bespoke goat hair sporran, in white goat hair, no tassels, bespoke hallmarked silver cantle from Ian Grant of Edinburgh, and smooth, black bridle leather back - with no pocket. I can't wait to get the commissioning process going on that one!

I have always seen the sporran molach (hair sporran) as a purely decorative centerpiece for Highland evening attire, with really no need for a pocket. At most formal occassions I attend, especially in Badenoch, and whilst wearing Highland dress, I am dancing so much the sporran is turned to my right hip - not to mention it woul dmost certainly weigh a wee bit more if I had car keys, wallet, etc stuffed into it. To hold my valuables (i.e. - credit card, debit card, business card(s), cash, etc), I prefer to use a slim, black leather card case (which is a companion piece to my bifold - same collection), placed into my inner doublet pocket, or even my waistcoat pocket, which no doubt eliminates the superfluous use of a hair sporran rear pocket. Just my opinion, mates.

Cheers,
