    Post Custom Leather Kilt Belts & Day Sporrans

    Hello all,

    Can someone post links to anyone that makes Custom Leather Kilt Belts & Day Sporrans?
    After searching the many online stores that sales Highland Wear, all I see is the same ole'
    stuff. I'm looking for something more.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    No need to look any further than the bottom of each page on this forum and you will see the advert for "Artificer Custom Sporrans" Scott became a member of this forum and made a few sporrans. His work was outstanding, so much so, that he now has a substantial wait list. He does not have off the shelf stock and all orders are custom (I would say bespoke) made. Scott is a delight to work with and what you end up with is a heirloom piece of kit. He also makes the sporran belt to match your sporran and a kilt belt (if required)

    A step down from the bespoke option of our now famous (or infamous?) master craftsman Scott (known as Artificer here) there is always McRosties of Glasgow. They are excellent craftspeople, too.

    I can also recommend Wyvern Leatherworks at the bottom of each page. Donnie does great work!

    Another few to add to that list - Another of our advertisers at the bottom of the page is Wyvern Leatherworks. Donnie Hailey is a great chap and makes top quality items. Sporrans and belts.
    Another couple of options is Centaur Designs - http://www.centaurdesign.co.uk/
    and SkyRavenwolf - http://www.skyravenwolf.com/

    With the previous mentions for Artificer and MacRosties you should find something that takes your fancy.

    Finally it may be worth giving one of members a PM . A Hay is one of our registered hobbyists and makes some lovely sporrans too.

    Best of luck.
    Friends stay in touch on FB simon Taylor-dando
    Best regards

    You beat me to it! Tom made a fantastic black sporran for me. His work is outstanding. I whole-heartedly recommend Thomas Hays ('A_Hay' is his handle here on XMTS).

    I completely agree. You can't go wrong with either place (Scott at Artificer and Kareen at McRostie).
