Richard , I love this sporran !! I have seen you wearing this beauty in quite a few pics and I have always admired it , very classically vintage , very traditional and not overdone . In my humble opinion , it ranks at the top of the list !
Cheers , Mike
Thanks Mike, and I agree... I love that thing. I troll Ebay for this sort of thing, have for years, and every once in a blue moon a real gem pops up. I got into a bit of a bidding war with somebody, but I wanted that thing!
That cantle came on a new Janet Eagleton horsehair body, which I switched out for a modern big goathair body, extremely roomy. I hardly ever wear any other sporran... like Dr Ian Malcolm's black suit, it's good for any occasion.
With tweed
or with evening dress
or at a rugby match
Both the vintage cantle on a Eagleton body, and the goathair body on an ugly modern bronze cantle, were got on Ebay from 'Bugpiper' (aka Steve McVeigh).
