    Why am I thinking that had you had a slow spell at the tent that somebody would be soon showing a proud pic of Highland cow hide Thorfinn sporran?

    I would highly recommend the accessory carbon-fiber frame when wearing this one!

    I can think of only two heilan' coo sporrans that I have seen in person - both that eye-catching red.
    I'm not sure if I would wear one myself, but the look worked for the gentlemen wearing them.

    MoR, sometimes your delivery is just too spot on. good thing I wasn't drinking at the time I read ithis.

    He was the owner of the coo ranch. had a sporran too, although I didn't much care for the style.
