Dress Sporran Ordered

[Colin]

I've seen lots of different kinds of fur (rabbit, muskrat, skunk, mink, etc.). Of the types I have seen, only sealskin is not legal. I'm sure there are some others, I just haven't seen them.

Interesting. A good friend of mine has a rabbit fur sporran from Edinburgh that always makes him the center of attention. I assume from what I have seen available on line that the rabbit fur sporrans is a bit cheaper than the seal skin.

I like the look of the seal skin and am really looking forward to the delivery. I just guess that Sir Paul McCartny and I can't become friends now

I should have just bought the package deal in the beginning

I like to think that by ordering things seperately I get away from that cookie cutter scotsman look, get to chose from a wider selection, get better quality, and more precisely tailor my look. At least that's what I like to think.

Besides , who can fight the jones off long enough to save up enough to buy a package all at once? Not I.

Colin,

That is one nice looking sporran. My rabbit fur sporran is jealous.

Well this thread just bursted my bubble because I was planning on buying this dress sporran made out of seal skin cus I like the short hair ones a lot better than the furry ones. What is an alternative fur that is also short fur like seal skin?

Shaved rabbit, like most women's rabbit coats. Although, don't think I've evr seen one of those advertised.

I saw one on eBay that claimed to be fake seal skin. When I emailed them it was actually goat skin. It had short hair at least.

I got an email from David at Scottishkilts.net this morning. The sporran is still on it's way from the manufacturer and should be in my hands by next Monday. I asked for the cross chains on the sporran instead of the usual straight chains. This would work well if I got it next Monday. Today, I quit smoking (I was off for a year and a bit and slipped for about 8 months) so that will be a nice 1 week reward.

Many places, when they see the sporran is being shipped to the US will make the sporran with a different type of fur. I'm not sure what kind though.

That's a very nice dress sporran...the cantle is outright stunning!

A beauty!

A very nice dress sporran Colin, and with the crossed chains it will look very elegant. I have seen the crossed chains on a couple of other sites and thought that the dress sporran i have my eye on would look rather dashing with the chain crossed. [ the cantcle has an embossed Saltire and Lion Rampant on a blue background design]. Good luck on the quit smoking, think of all the little extras you will be able to get with the money you save by not smoking.
