    I've sold L&M's Canadian beaver sporran before (yes, we have some Canadians down here in NC), and so I've seen it (and felt it) in person. You will not be dissapointed if you choose that one. I beleive my exact thoughts were, "Gee, I'd get this in a heartbeat if I were Canadian!"

    It is a dressier sporran, and if you are looking for something that you can get by with more casually, may I humly suggest one of the beaver sporrans from our Ferguson-Britt line?

    I have the Glengyle beaver model myself (read a review and see pics on my blog) and enjoy it for both formal and casual wear. I think the all leather cantle makes this one work for more casual occasions. In fact, I wore it today with my Mull tartan kilt, white golf shirt, and lovat blue hose.

    And, just to close, people really like to pet beaver fur. ;-)

    Aye,
    Matt

    I do like this one Matt but as we all realized as the beer commercial said "I Am Canadian. Bear in mind that with my new Newsome and my new Braemer from USAKilts on order, I figured it's about time I bring some (much needed) class to SOKS. For those Acrylabeast supporters let me say that because of the rampant lion cantle and me not being scottish it would have cost me an extra $35 to get a different cantle, thus putting it closer toward the price of the beaver. For those interested it will be coming from L&M Highland Outfitters. they do not sell directly to the public but CCK and I believe Matt Newsome are suppliers and they come highly recommended.
