Quality Sporrans for less money

[Scottish Rock]

Do you really want to settle for something you kind of like instead of something you really like for something you might be wearing for years to come? If you are on a tight budget(been there), ebay and this thread can be your friend.

It's just that I'm not sure if I like it with tassels or not. I think the cheaper one does look great but a sporran with tassels might be a bit more dressy than what I would like for me personally. On the other hand I have zero experience with highlandwear and it seems like most day sporrans have tassels so obviously it's considered a good look and maybe I just need to get accustomed to it.

I don't want my own ignorance to dictate all my choices only to end up with something that no highlander would never wear .

Tassels do not make a sporran any more or less dressy so if you like them then its fine.

Perhaps frivolous or flamboyant is a better term for what I mean rather than dressy. So what I meant to say was that I might find a sporran with tassels a bit too frivolous or flamboyant. But that's just the uneducated 'opinion' of of someone completely ignorant to all things highlandwear.

With all due respect, you're already wearing a kilt. There's no need to worry about sporran tassels drawing unwanted attention. Tassels on a sporrans are perfectly traditional, harkening back to a time when the sporran was held cinched by drawstrings. In more modern times, the British military issued sporrans without tassels, and today you'll find some UK makers who offer bare sporrans in the military style.

That did cross my mind actually. So yes it probably is a silly thing to fuss about, but somehow I manage to do so .
