i only know one person who owns a sporran that is not plain leather and he wears a horse-hair one as part of his outfit for the Lonach March. he normally wears a leather one though.

personally i think 'mask' sporrans are hideous and people who wear them should be embarrassed and ashamed. i wouldn't blame anyone if they decided to throw paint over someone wearing a mask sporran... or even a fur 'dress' sporran.

i got a sealskin 'dress' sporran with my first kilt and the few times i wore it i felt sad. i now do not wear it. ever.

however...

if you are a hunter and you have gone out and hunted the animal, killed it, eaten it and had a sporran made from it's hide i guess i am ok with that as that is natural human behaviour. mass cullings of seals, minks or any other animal purely for their fur is an outrage though, and we as a race should have abandoned the practice centuries ago.
