    I suppose for a few of the most radical in the bunch it might send the same message. Still, unlike muskrats, cows are not generally slaughtered primarily for their skin. For many animal lovers, fur, especially fur with a face, conjures up images of the much-maligned fur trade, cruel leg traps, innocent creatures killed to satisfy human vanity, etc., etc., and rouses stronger passions than plain old leather. I'll feel safer with leather on this occasion. I've never had a problem when wearing my full-head muskrat sporran, which I do whenever I can, but I have received the odd hostile comment about my pure white sealskin dress sporran. The great Canadian seal hunt seems to rouse even stronger passions than the regular fur trade. At least no one has thrown red paint on me yet, though.

    I won't need a dress sporran for this gig since I'll be wearing a tweed argyll jacket and vest. I had thought of getting a synthetic Nightstalker for this occasion, but they appear to be out of stock.

    Congrats on the new addition. I always get a lil happy feelin when I see another Full Mask.
    Theres something special about them. Ive had my Raccoon for over a year. I always get good or interesting comments. My friends feel let down when "Buddy" doesnt show up.
