New sporrans -- hunting and dress
It took about a year, but I have narrowed it down to the two sporrans that I think will serve me best.
On the left is a hunting sporran and dark brown leather strap from L&M Highland, which I purchased from J. Higgins a few weeks ago, during a business trip to Kansas City. I really like the look of a hunting sporran with my tweed kilt jacket.
On the right is a grey bovine dress sporran which looks handsome not only with my formal black Argyll jacket and waistcoat but also with my lovat green tweed jacket and waistcoat for dressier "day" occasions. This was about $35 on eBay -- probably not made in Scotland, as there's no stamping on the back, but simple and elegant.
I have many occasions to wear the kilt each year, many of which involve just feeling like it, and many of which are black- or white-tie events. I expect I'll get good use out of these new sporrans.
