Thorfinn Sporran,#75 Review

[Chef]

Ok, I really do feel like s**t. I came down with the flu (even though I got a shot) several days ago and it is not shifting. However I did get a a present in the mail today which made me feel somewhat better.

I received my Thorfinn sporran, #75 and it's a beauty. I'm bundled up in sweats and sweaters so I haven't put it on but I couldn't wait to share it with the rabble.

The sporran is a beautiful elk skin and it is very supple. Unfortunately the light doesn't do the colour any favours. The craftsmanship is truly wonderful. Turpin is a true artist and I consider myself very lucky to own one of these sporrans.



On the inside I asked for key fob, business card pocket, pen pocket and a pocket for my iPhone in it's armour. Of course everything fits perfectly and it sill has enough room to house a small family.



What was really a surprise was I hadn't been able to choose a second flap although I knew I wanted one. Turpin was going to send along a couple of leather samples for me to choose. Well I guess he saw my review of the Woollen Mill IoS kilt that I just received last week and....



The second flap is great and Turpin was so thoughtful to include it. I truly had no idea it was coming.

I'll get more pics of the sporran with the kilt when I feel better and of course those attending the NYC pub crawl this weekend will get t see it first hand.

Well done, it looks to truly be a work of art. In spite of Turpins many flaws he is a gentleman.

Holy Cow! Turpin, the layout of the inside of your sporrans is superb.

Thank you Grant. I strive.

Thank you. Chef's pic does a lot for it.

Thanks for the well wishes guys.

Holy Cow! Turpin, the layout of the inside of your sporrans is superb.

Honestly Turpins sporrans are the perfect modern sporran for a traditionalist like myself. The custom pockets he can create are perfect for all the junk we carry today. I know SWK's"cargo" sporrans are popular and I think they are great but I don't really see myself wearing one. This sporran is the perfect compromise. Traditional style and modern usability.

I am sure this won't be my only one.
