    Sporran Shedding

    I have an old Gordon Highlander's piper sporran which is losing the white horsehair. I know this can be fixed, but does anyone have an idea of how much? L & M does repair on these.

    Is this a DIY project or something better left to professionals.

    Additional dumb question. Do I need to save the shedding hair?

    LOL! My badger-mask sporran sheds, too. I bought a lint brush to deal with the leavings on the kilt. It really shows on the Black Watch tartan. I don't wear my horsehair much, so I cannot answer your question.

    Maybe you could contact L&M and ask them? Since they offer the service?

    I agree with Bradley. I've heard you can slow shedding on regular "fur" by freezing them but I'm no expert.

    I hear Rogaine works for some hides, but it did nothing for me.

    At any moment you must be prepared to give up who you are today for who you could become tomorrow.

    I am amazed with the amount of pipers here that no one has dealt with this issue, but contact L&M sounds like a good idea.
