Good Cop, Bad Cop: WARNING: Avoid thescotlandkiltcompany on eBay when it comes to sporrans. I bought 2 really nice, really inexpensive sporrans, one Celtic leather front flap and one black rabbit fur targe, from them and both were defective. The sporran straps were identical, nice thick leather and chromed chain, okay chrome buckle, but the leather was too big by millimeters to fit back through the buckle and the tounge was unpolished and flat at the end instead of rounded. The small leather straps with 2 d-rings at the back of both sporrans were riveted on one side and glued on the other: both came undone while I was wearing them, the leather one dropping to the floor, the fur one breaking a tassel chain at the top of the tassel. Then the stitching on the top of the patch on the back of the leather sporran began to pop. I made a temporary repair to the tassel and glued the patch back down with Gorilla glue (blemishing the front by mistake). I replaced all the split rings and I'm looking for the right size buckles with a rounded tounge and Chicago screws all of which are suddenly hard to find to fix the sporran straps. ADVICE: When you buy something on eBay give yourself some time before you provide feedback. I placed mine after the 2 bad straps were found but not before the tassel and the patch tore. thescotlandkiltcompany has a 98% favorable rating which I accidentally contributed to and which it does not deserve.
