Question about choice of sporrans

[Rufus]

Rufus, I wouldn't worry too much about PETA. It's been my experience that while those folks are willing to throw paint on a housewife or starlet wearing fur they never throw paint on a Hell's Angel wearing leather and fur!

Jamie - how true! That, and the fact that I'd have to run into one of the three members in Idaho to get paint on me.

I've got 2 now and the wife promised me an 'inbetween'. I have a classic black with 3 thistle tassels for day wear and a badger fur and silver for formal or evening wear. I got this from Scotland about 20 years ago and it is a classic. Still looking for a skunk...I've threatened to find this and rig it so the flap opens on que when anyone gives me a problem about wearing the kilt!

USAKilts has one I like which is a black with a celtic type metal 'knot' on the flap. This looks like a good 'inbetween' or semi-formal for events. I guess I'm a little traditional becasue I think a kilt looks too plain without a sporran.

Just my view...

So, back to the original topic.

I was wondering if anyone has one of the sporrans with the animal's head on it. I was wondering how people react to them. I have visions of women passing out and being attacked by PETA if I wore one of those in public.

Just wondering.

I happen to have a skunks' head sporran! No one has run for cover just yet!

Anybody try petting it yet?

I've just had a wicked idea for an all leather sporran that might do for day or evening wear, even for the kilt cops. More on this once I work out the details.
(Don't worry Phil, I'm finishing your kilt before I start a new project.)

bout friggin time,er, I mean thanx bear

I have to agree with Bear. I wear a kilt for two reasons:

1. I like the look.
2. I like the comfort.
3. I have always done things my way.

Yes! that is three.

If one wants to replicate a tradition, I'm all for it. But, what doesn't adapt dies, so I like to try new things.
