    I've always been hesitant to get a casual, everyday fur sporran, as I don't think the fur would wear well.

    I have a fur sporran, but it's for evening wear, and thus doesn't get much abuse.

    How is yours holding out?

    It is holding up very well. The fur has a very thick leather backing that has held up to much abuse. I am very pleased with it's construction and durability. I generally wear it as an everyday sporran when I want to dress up a little bit. I also have a plain black BK Rob Roy which is my primary knock around sporran.

    I have to say that the fur BK does have a smaller carry capacity as the fur/leather front is somewhat stiff and is not designed to allow for expansion as does my other BK.

    Overall I would not hesitiate to purchase this sporran again.

    When I got home today there was a package from Buzz containing a Rob Roy sporran, which appears to be almost the same as their ribbed sporran, but without the medallion and with tassels. Anyway it appears to be a well made piece and worth the $.

    If anyone's interested it measures about 8" high and about 8.5" wide.

    I still want a Freelander, but I'm happy with the Buzz and will definitely wear it!
