I would be hard pressed to find raw materials for making a sporran or anything out of leather here in Japan. I don't know if there is anywhere I could buy it.

In Alaska, though, there are places that carry leather and skins that you can buy to make whatever you might feel the desire to make.

This summer I am going to go hunting with my Dad and will use the skins to make sporrans. Even if we don't get anything my Dad has a bearskin I can use to make a sporran. I have mentioned this project on the forum before, but what I am going to do is make the sporran with the bears paw with claws and pads intact for the flap. The weight of the claws and pads will make any kind of fastener unnecessary.

Also, my Dad has found some dress sporan cantles on e-bay and we will use them to make dress sporans. Maybe out of something like wolverine.
