Number of tassels on a sporran

[cavscout]

While scanning ebay I noticed several sporrans which could have looked really great, like this one
but that had too many tassels, IMHO

To my eye, it is just too crowded for 5 fat tassels. Perhaps a more narrow leather or horsehair tassel would be OK. Typically though, on a standard size sporran like this I think staying with 3 tassels is a more attractive look.

I also prefer to have a nice 'V' shape to the tassels.

anyone else have any thoughts?

unless you have a formal sporran with five or six small tassles, three or none is the way to go.

It looks to me that they tried to style it after a military dress sporran and it just doesn't work. Far too cluttered looking.

Either zero or three for me.

Good point, the ones with just 2 look as though one fell off

I'm in the three or none band too.
