Sporran style advice, with regards to thigh friction
Hello all!
I am looking for some information before hopefully purchasing my first reasonably high-quality sporran. [Still in the process of slowly accumulating my first full kit.] I currently own only the basic day sporran from Stillwater [stiff black leather], and I find that the edges of it rub against my thighs [or more, rub the wool of my kilt into my thighs], which I find moderately irritating.
So, my question is this - what styles, or what particular qualities/descriptors, should I be looking for to find a sporran that is made of softer leather, or has rounder/less hard edges? It looks like Jacobite sporrans are made of softer leather, but I'm not a fan of the style. I've had a hard time finding out what the structure of full-mask/horsehair sporrans are beneath all the fuzz.
Despite living in a major city [DC], we apparently have only one kilt rental place [at the complete opposite side of the city] and I don't have any local kilted friends, so my opportunities for hands-on inspection are pretty limited. [If I'm missing a local kilt resource, I'd be happy to hear about it!]
Thanks in advance!
