A new sporran for Jock?

[BoldHighlander]

Alright then chaps time for me to glean an idea,or fifty, from you chaps with up to date ideas.

I am looking for a formal(dress) sporran for evening wear. BUT I don't want fur,or hair of any kind(I have gone off fur). I am happy with leather though and it will need to be along fairly traditional lines. I think a silver cantle will be required too. So all ideas and pictures will be very welcome. Designs are welcome, as I am happy to have the one I like made and of course credit will be given to the designer.

Jock,

when I think of you, what I envision you wearing is something that is not ostentatious, but harkens back to a more simple, traditional time. For the cantle I can see either utilizing or replicating a vintage style.

Though a bit "fancier" than I imagine for this project, I could see something like this vintage cantle:


however, what I very well envision you utilizing is the 1953 MOD "Culloden" cantle or a silver copy of it (bottom right cantle):


for the sporran itself, my first thought ran along the lines of Matt's thinking of sting ray:


however I do like the simplicity & vintage style of the elk/deer hide bags like these Ferguson Britt's:



either would be very nice matched up with the 1953 "Culloden" style cantle.

Another consideration, that would look nice in black leather, would be one inspired by this worn by the Duke of Rothesay (note the cantle closely resembles the 1953 MOD "Culloden"):


Finally, to inspire you further I'd like to include this bit of art by James Drummond of original early sporrans (note that 4 of the 5 illustrated are leather rather than fur):
