A while ago I was trying to decide between a faux fur or beaver sporran from L&M Highland Outfitters. When I decided on the beaver I called Pete (MacHummel) From Canadian Casual Kilts to order me one (MSRP $337.50 Cdn). CCK is a distributor as L&M don't sell directly.

So first the pics.

Against the Maple Leaf tartan. BTW this is the Canadian edition sporran.


Hopefully a better picture.


The back.


Inside.


The measurements.



The suplied belt.


This is my first dress sporran and having never handled one was suprised at how little it will hold. I thought that it would be a soft front, I was wrong. Oh well I bought for looks not fuction and since I'll be using this in dressier situations I'll have my Braemer's pocket to suppliment the stowing of various items. At 1.5" depth, 8" wide by 9" high. it will just hold my wallet , cigarettes and lighter. My camera was a no-go with just my wallet and no cigarettes. Had it have been soft fronted I'd be able to stuff more items in there but as stated before it was the look I was after. What about the look (and feel)? First of this is top quality hand crafted in Nova Scotia. It was not in stock so had to be made for me (for added cost ui could have changed some items such as cantle and such) it took two weeks from order to shipment to CCK and a little longer to hand me the sporran at our kilt night. As mentioned above it is the Canadian edition from the pelt of our national rodent. the chromed cantel as three gold maple leaves spaced equidistance and gold tassle trumpets. Unfortunately for me the trumpets have little thistles embossed on them, I would have prefered that they had carried the Canadian theme over somehow. With this sporran, my Maple Leaf kilt and perhaps a Hudson's Bay Co blanket jacket I could really go tapping the maples in style, eh? It came with a brown sporran belt with gold chain but is sized for a larger sporran wearer. I'll soon be replacing that with an RKilts braided sporran belt in oxblood. I do appreciate this sporran and I'm very pleased with my purchase. I fully recommend L&M but I wish I hadn't seen their red fox sporran.
