OK,

So here is my current sporran collection minus a unique day sporran which is at the shoemaker being repaired.

I'm curious about everyone's opinion on which sporran to wear when.

Since even my leather sporran is black, I've been told it would do for evening attire, but I've always preferred to reserve such a plain sporran for day wear.

The second from the left used to be fully covered with seal fur and had six tassels. It was my best evening sporran for many years, but the fur dried out and cracked and started to fall apart. The tassels went missing etc... In order to save it, I trimmed the seal fur back to where it wasn't cracked and added some leather tassels. Would this now be considered a semi dress sporran? Is it too fancy for day wear? Is it elegant enough for evening wear? Thoughts?

The third is a black rabbit fur with silver coloured cantle. It's certainly meant for evening wear. I wish it was seal, but that's very hard to obtain now and I'm not a fan of most bovine sporrans I've seen. They seem too rough.

The final one is interesting. It's brown rabbit fur and has a fold over flap and minimal hardwear.

Which of these would you say is my best sporran for evening wear? Is the leather the only one that's appropriate for day wear or would you wear the seal or brown rabbit as well in the day? Let me know what you think!
