Hunting sporran for Bible Monkey!

[biblemonkey]

I really like the work you've done here!
Not to be disparaging and mostly from ignorance I speak but is not a hunting sporran supposed to fully close so as to allow nothing to spill while stalking and such? Or is the style hunting just to mean less formal than say day wear?

Actually, as far as formal vs. daywear, the hunting sporran is one of the most versatile designs. That’s why I prefer them. That and I’m not big on tassels. That is also why Nighthawk and I went with a combination of brown and black and why we came up with the removable cantle with replaceable riveted screws. That way, when the metal cantle is on, more black is shown than brown for formal wear and when it is off, an equal amount of both colors is shown for daywear. It can go equally well with brown leather accoutrements and black. As far as closures on hunting sporrans go, all of the hunting sporrans I have seen in person are closed at the top in a similar fashion. The stiffer leather used in hunting sporrans usually presses together so tightly at the top that between that and the way a sporran hangs, you would have to be skydiving to have so much as a penny fall out. If anyone is interested, I can explain the significance of the visuals used and the particular verse I had him stamp into the cross. At least what they mean to me and why I requested such specific detail. Don’t know if anyone would care but it makes the item just that much more special to me.
