Obviously hair sporrans don't have a very high rating here, at least for civilian wear. Where did they go wrong? From the period illustrations I've seen they were a popular type of sporran for civilian wear. Maybe not for the working class, but at least for the well-to-do, gentlemen sorts. Our own Matt Newsome has a picture of himself, on his website, wearing one. If anyone can elaborate on them and their history, please do. I would appriciate it.
