Quality Sporrans for less money

Yes and the back has the common Pakistani equilateral triangle belt tab.

It's scary though how close they got.

Hmmm in the Pakistani image are the logos actually stamped in the leather or are they Photoshopped on?

It could be that those Pakistani logos weren't taken from the USA Kilts sporran itself, but rather stolen from a graphic image that appears somewhere on the USA Kilts site.

The lion logo is on the sporran in the video, so I doubt it's photoshopped.

A beautiful Nicoll Brothers seal Evening sporran £60

Obviously for those not in the USA.

I'm puzzled about the cantle design. At first glance I thought it was merely Celtic knotwork, but then I noticed that the middle has stylised letters "ST" or "GT"

People often confuse the bearskin headdress worn by the Guards with the feather bonnets worn in Highland Dress. As you can see they look quite different to each other.

First, I don't know what I was THINKING (or not at all) when I started this in the "Quality Sporrans for Less Money" epic. But, here it is, so I still have two (oops, THREE) more questions:

Any idea how much those feather bonnets weigh, and even how much MORE the bearskin versions must weigh?
It's still not clear to me why the guy with the mace is called the "Drum" Major. If he's the best drummer in the band, why is he not playing drums? If what he "wins" by reaching that peak is the right to get clobbered by the Mace in freefall, I can think of better rewards…
The pipers in rows 3 & 4 are wearing their sporrans on or close to the right hip. I don't think that's typical. is it perhaps unique to that band?
