Don't be tricked by other Xmarkers into buying an MOD sporran cantle!

Photos of the inside?

In a wee while mate, it's not quite finished. I'm going to make some lining out of a bit of Harris tweed. I have to say, it's been a bit of a learning curve, but very enjoyable. I'm off to buy a bit more leather next week, and hopefully version two will include some tassels. The aim is to have a brown and a black bag, to cover all my daywear options!

I just posted this in another thread re anther member maknig a bag for a MoD cantle. I had forgotten all about it until I saw the other thread.
" Just a point, I don't know if it has been noted before, the original MoD bags had a piece of cardboard, about 2-3mm thick, 20mm wide and 170mm long that kept the shape at the bottom and lower sides of the bag. It was slid between the the front and rear facings along the gussett. I have had a number of bags made for me and use a plastic stip cut from the lid a 4 litre icream container. Of course the width dimensions may differ depending on how wide your gussett is."
