Big Mikey; had I ibnvestigated dress sporrans more I probably would have fond them to be hard shelled. Yes the pelt is attached to what I'm assuming is hard leather. I found the 'web' around the front and back to be quite thin and is very flexible compared to my cheap leather day sporran of similar construction.
Jay; I suppose we don't tend to need as much stuff for a formal setting as we would for a days outting. I'm now thinking that an overly stuffed soft formal sporran woukd detract from the look.
McFarkus yes I think you've nailed it.
Sara; yes I wanted the Canadian look. The second half of our global kilt night was sponsored by Coors Light (which I drink when I'm pacing myself). As I was spotted by a rep I got a free beer, some Coors prizes (handcuffs?) and a picture which I still waiting to be posted at www.coorslight.ca hence the reminder card in my sporran. now Coor Light brewed by Molson's in Canada yhe oldest brewer in North America is now Molson Coors and is no longer Canadian owned. Labatts is now owned by Interbrew of Belgium. The largest Canadian owned brewer up until 2006 was Sleeman's (brewers of my Cream Ale) is now Japanese owned by Sapporo brewers and by the way Sleeman's brews Keith's. I'm so confused as to what is Canadian beer. i'm going to have to start sampling those micro breweries!
Ron; silky smooth and so soft. I find myself absent-mindedly stroking it to many a stare.
