Very nice sporrans and belt

[turpin]

Hello all - my first thread and it promises to be short, I'll wager. Cavscout encouraged me to post this sporran so I thought I'd add the belt as well. This maker is currently fully booked, but I think that for the price and attractiveness, and I hope, the quality, it will be worth the wait. There are 2 solids and this mixed color, which is the one I'm partial to. Once I order it I'll hit up Cav for matching straps in black and brown. Has anyone got one of these, and what do you think?

I definately like the belt. The sporran reminds me of a Freelander Sporran. But, I definately think the Freelander looks of a better quality. PLUS, the freelanders are made by one of our Moderators (Freelander Sporrano.)

Thanks Bradley.

It's never been a secret that Sten Rune and I started with the pattern from the book "So you're going to wear the kilt" by Charles Thompson.We took that as our base design

The sporran in the picture looks like one of those.

I do however like the sporran above, simple and functional. Nice combination of colours too.

I like the belt buckle too

I appreciate David's gracious post about a competing product. I certainly mean no disrespect to him or his highly regarded products. I've been on the forum he moderates, and I knew these were very similar to Freelander Sporrans. I thought twice about posting such a similar product, especially being new to this community but aren't we also interested in knowing as much of what is out there as possible? It's all about options, prices, availability, and individual likes and dislikes. A small difference in appearance or features can tip the balance in a purchase decision.

All of the craftsmen and women on the board bring their own twist to the table. There are many threads here where one kiltmaker has complimented and recomended another kiltmakers kilts. It's a very neat relationship you'll find here. And while most of us have a preferance of what items we buy, for the most part we usually behave like collectors and pick up a piece from one shop, then a piece form another and so on.

I don't feel disrespected at all. In fact I wouldn't like to think that people didn't post sporran threads here because I'm a mod/spare time sporran maker.. So no need to think twice. We have some fantastic craftsmen and women on this forum. I love to see their work....So don't hold back
