Which sporran?

[MacKenzie]

I've always liked the hair sporrans, but have never found one that suit my personal taste/style. Then I stumbled upon these two. They're simple and understated. Now I can't make up my mind - which is a good problem to have.

They are by the same craftsman and the same price, both are white goat.. Which would you choose and why?

[Liam]

I would choose the one with the chrome/silver cantle as it is the dressier one.

[Tomak]

I agree with Liam...the second one with the silver cantle.

I love them both! Clearly as others have pointed out, the leather flapped one is for daywear, and the silver cantled one is for evening/formal situations. If I had to go with only one, I'd choose the second one.

I like the second picture better.

BTW, As a MacRae myself (i.e. The Mackenzie's Shirt Of Mail), how about helping out a comrade and telling me who is selling these? I've been looking for a nice goat hair sporran for some time.

Donnie @ Wyvern Leatherworks. Both are one-of-a-kind.

How about you get both and spare my pocketbook.

Personally I'd get more use out of the daywear one but they are both fine.
Like the formal one too.

I also prefer #2, fwiw

If you get the first, and wear it more often, will the extra chains wear on the front apron more. I can't tell from the photos what the contact next to the kilt would be.
I do like the first because it would fit my personality better. I can dress up rather smartly, but will soon open my mouth and speak, other's then know I usually am not a regular at black tie events.
