    More new sporrans

    Got these 3 samples in today. We're going to tweak the color combo on the 2 tone ones, but the brown one is just how we envisioned it.

    What do you guys think?



    If we decide to carry all 3, the changes that we'll make are:

    grey / black one: grey front panel (currently black), laser etching on front panel (like on tan sporran), black tassels.

    Tan / Black one: TAN gusset leather (currently black).

    I like the idea of the grey / black one with the proposed changes.

    Well done.

    I think they look fantastic ! I like mixing the brown & black leather - easier to accessorize I'd think . The lions really set it off . Now if I could get one with a rabbit ...

    I like the two-tone, but I'm not a fan of the laser etching. Perhaps the photo isn't catching the full effect of a design "in" the leather vice "on" the leather.

    I like them, but can you do them without the tassels?

    Excellent, Rocky! The color that I prefer, though, would be a deep, chocolate brown, as in some military styles that I've seen. Although, these do look stunning!

    We have done brown sporrans in dark chocolate color and they just don't sell. Case in point... Our brown hunting sporran (currently on our site) which we're discontinuing for lack of interest. That being said, if you wanted one as a special, we could have it made for you for the same price.

    Yes. It would be a special, but could be done. It would be the same price, just take a few weeks.

    Personally, I like the laser etching. They look good.

    Rocky,

    I like all of them. My favorite is the brown with the etching. It is classy.

    Very nice, the only thing, I would like to see what it would look like with just one of the lion logo things on the flap, centered of course. I think it might be an improvement, definitely more in line with tradition anyhow.
