Beaver or Acrylabeast

[ccga3359]

Firstly, I'm looking for a semi-formal sporran and suddenly I thought a fuzzy one. It would be very seldom that I'd do anything close to formal, my kilted outing usually involve kilt night at a pub. Are these furry sporrans just too much?

Lesser Acrylabeast on the left, Beaver on the right.



I have always maintained that I'd never wear the hide of an animal I do not eat, hence why I never wore a Doeskin jacket during my Gordon Lightfoot years. Fortunately with the above two I can have a fuzzy sporran and still preach my oh-so moral self-righteousness. To boot the L&H beaver sporran is ever so Canadian with the guilded maple leaves on the cantle and well it's our national animal so let's strap it around our mid-section. And well having a beaver pelt there just opens up a whole new slew of conversation starters that a rubber chicken just can't produce.

So, too dressy for oot and aboot? If not Acrylabeast or Beaver?

Thanks all.

Personally, I prefer the beaver.

Imagine a Beaver sporran worn over the Maple Leave kilt. You'll be like a Sleeman's bottle

The beaver wins hands down for me, but the synthetic also looks nice.

Price may also enter in here.

Heritage feels good. If I was a Canadian, I would have already bought the beaver.

Otherwise, they are both handsome and fine choices.

Imagine it with F&K's HBC tartan! Think Steve would sell me some?

So is the photo to show that your natural hair colour is "cream ale" or was it your intent to make me thirsty?

The whole beaver sporran looks great. Yes it's a bit much for a lot of events, but if some people can wear sleeveless shirts, crocs, and a pipers sporran with a kilt, I am sure a guy in the know like you will make it work well. It would look pretty sharp with the HBC tartan.

I say go for the beaver of the two it is, in my humble opinion the superoir sporran, remember that our own Peter is a distributor for L&M.

If it were me I'd go with the Beaver and either a Maple Leaf or HBC Tartan kilt
or better yet one of each kilt and the beaver sporran

Was in conversation with him yesterday. The beaver is just a $100 more. I am seriously leaning toward that. I'm really just wondering if it would be too much at our fuctions or would a hunting sporran (close to same price BTW) be more suitable?

I think beaver sporran looks great! If you could get the cantle in an antique finish, like the one on the left, it would tone it down a bit.
