    Freelander's Amazing Sporran

    Oh Boy! Oh Boy! Am I the lucky one or what?

    Not an hour ago, I received a package from Norway containing, what I believe to be, Freelander's first sporran sale - and it is superb!

    Here's a quickly taken pic:


    and there is another in my Photo Gallery.

    David, I send you my congratulations. This is one fantastic sporran. It is roomy, is beautifully constructed and is in a design unlike any other that I have seen. Truly, I'll be proud to wear it (and, believe you me, I certainly will!).

    Thank you, David ................ let me know if you decide to make it in black , and if you come up with other designs - I'll be first in line!

    Looks great. Ham, now you really have a coup, an original Freelander sporran. I'd sure consider one if it was in black.

    Freelander...

    David, I think you've started something here...I like the design, would look nice with a day jacket as well.

    Hamish, what is the tartan, if I may be so bold to ask?

    Cheers,

    T.

    Graham,

    I have now been wearing the sporran all day - from the moment it arrived - and it is great! Not heavy in itself so, when I have everything but the kitchen sink in it, it is still comfortable. Brilliant in every way!

    The address you have given sounds to me more like and Australian distributor's address - will you be assuming that mantle in time? I guess everything depends upon whether David wants to go into business!

    I'll have to try it with one of my day jackets, but I have a feeling that the sporran might have just a tad too much of a casual/historical look for that to work. I'll let you know.

    The tartan? It is Kinloch Anderson's 'Corporate Tartan', which I particularly like for the nice touch of rust colour in it - a useful colour when co-ordinating. The kilt is actually one of their Breacans, now 5½ years old.

    Thank-you guys.

    And thank -you Hamish your kind words are really too much.

    My Partner in crime sten-rune has equal blame for these works of art.

    As from Today they are available in black too.And also in a nice deep green and combination of both

    One like Hamish has on will cost :£30 + £4 p+p.
    or $55 plus $10 p+p or $68CAD and 12CAD p+p

    I have a couple of Prototypes for sale too. You'll have to watch the for sale thread next week when we get them finished.

    Talk to me guys
    All the Best.....David.

    Sounds great David. I will certainly keep you in mind when I'm ready to buy a sporran. Very nice prices!
