    TH, this is an idea I've been kicking around as well for sporrans like the Buzz Kidder's. It's a great shape and size and if you could make a "fascad" of fur to cover the front with three tassel holes to feed them thru you'd have a very nice semi-formal sporran or at least a variation on a day sporran. I think there is a market here to provide a person more sporran options without the expense of a new sporran. The catch is the design would have to be versatile enough to fit multple sporrans.

    convertable Sporran

    This Sporran I made had this convertable feature. I used Velcro on the flap to attach either the fur panel, or the solid leather panel. I am no Sporran expert but it works. I attached the Tassels to the body of the sporran because i have never examined a real sporran just photos on the web. certainly they dont get in the way when you open it up. Are they supposed to attach to the flap? This was my first attempt, so i an working on a better one. [IMG][/IMG]

    Tassels on a sporran of this type are attached to the body. Good job.

    I have the luxury of some pretty heavy duty sewing machines but snaps are a great idea too. Here is a photo of the Sporran on its maiden voyage. I just finished drinking from the grog bowl with a friend from our command. We were at a Military Dinning in Ceremony.
    The jacket is a $10.00 from the local salvation army thrift store. I modified it to Alans instructions. came out Ok...
