    well that's certainly cool looking. I like the rugged look of the leather and rivets. Is six globe/eagle marine thingies necessary though? A good job none the less.

    It's nice, I like. There is no doubt you support the troops.

    Could that possible be a Marine Corps sporran, Marine Corps belt and Marine Corps sporran belt I see? Not sure since there aren't enough indicators.

    All seriousness aside, they look great. Good job.

    Beuth Sim,

    If you made the belt, sporran strap, and sporran by yourself you obviously have talent. So good show.

    When I look at this ensemble one thing that stands out to me. These accessories are obviously in tribute to the military (Marines Corp?). The sporran doesn't work with the military style/inspired belts. The type of sporran you made is a simple rustic style one. The unfinished edges make it more so. It's a nice looking sporran and you should be proud of of it. In my opinion though the badges just don't work with it. They detract and stand out rather than enhance it. A very simple modern sporran (like the one's A Hay has been making) without tassles and ONE badge would look fantastic. It's your outfit and if you like it, that is all that matters.

    This was just my two cents.

    Cheers

    Thanks everyone. Yeah, It is over the top. But I was just testing what all would work with it. The buckle, flap, and button screws can all be CHANGED. It's not a static sporran. I'll post pictures of any future flaps. Your right Panache, Rob Roy styles are kinda rough and rugged , but so are the Marines. I did go over board, just for fun though. I really appreciate everyones feedback. Cloves, can you ever have TOO many EAG's? { Eagle, Anchor, Globe}
