Some Sporrans I Make

These are some sporrans I make - they're rather traditional, but I'm working on designing some others. I don't have a pic of what we might call a "Thompson" (after So You're Going to Wear the Kilt).
The Type 5 (above) has a boss made of "Flower of Scotland" tartan ribbon. I have in stock at the moment McDonald, Campbell, Royal Stewart, Douglas (Blue), Buchanan, and Flower of Scotland. But if the tartan ribbon exists, I can use it.
The sporrans are all made from vegetable tanned English bridle leather in appropriate thicknesses, and lined with skiver. The decorations are, in some cases, what would be used on horse harness.

I try and encourage people to wear a sporran belt rather than a chained belt. The chained belts I make have less chain that one would buy in a shop, to minimise the chafing of the kilt cloth.

The Sam Browne-type kilt belt doesn't have the shoulder strap (although I can make one if desired).
