Hair Sporran

[artificer]

Another triumph, Scott, and congrarulations to Matt! You have excelent taste, sir!

Scott, would it be possible to make a sporran somewhat like Matt's, but with a full sized pouch? Would it still look right?

You mean a full body pouch, like on a standard dress sporran?


Sure, it's possible. It would more than double the thickness of the body and add about 40% to the overall weight.

The nice thing about this "single panel" style of construction is how flexible and light it is


By adding a back panel and full gusset for storage the sporran bulks out considerably and must have a stiff structure on both faces- as there is now weight pulling down and forward (the hair, and potentially the contents of the sporran) away from the attachment point at the strap (on the back panel). It's basically a rusticated piper's sporran.

That said, of course I can do it.

Another option I'm playing with is an accordion or bellows pocket for the lower 2/3 of the rear panel. It would allow for a bit more substantial storage but wouldn't interfere with the soft structure of the bag, and should lay reasonably flat when not loaded.

What can I say? Dittos on a job well done.
