What is the option for dress sporrans for you guys in the US than? Do they use an alternative fur source?

My dress sporran is made out of rabbit fur. I personally like the fluffier fir instead of the shorter hair on the seal sporrans.

I've seen lots of different kinds of fur (rabbit, muskrat, skunk, mink, etc.). Of the types I have seen, only sealskin is not legal. I'm sure there are some others, I just haven't seen them.

Interesting. A good friend of mine has a rabbit fur sporran from Edinburgh that always makes him the center of attention. I assume from what I have seen available on line that the rabbit fur sporrans is a bit cheaper than the seal skin.

I like the look of the seal skin and am really looking forward to the delivery. I just guess that Sir Paul McCartny and I can't become friends now

That's a very nice dress sporran...the cantle is outright stunning!

A beauty!

A very nice dress sporran Colin, and with the crossed chains it will look very elegant. I have seen the crossed chains on a couple of other sites and thought that the dress sporran i have my eye on would look rather dashing with the chain crossed. [ the cantcle has an embossed Saltire and Lion Rampant on a blue background design]. Good luck on the quit smoking, think of all the little extras you will be able to get with the money you save by not smoking.

Thanks McRod, but I am married. I am sure to save some cash without the smoking, but if my wife has anything to say about it, I still will never see that cash.

My dress sporran is angora (long and curly, and very bright white), and I've seen three different kinds of fox and badger in addition to the ones you've mentioned, Dave.

Bryan...one more picture to post, one of these days...

The dress sporran showed up yesterday. It is great! The cross chains make it look so much better than the usual straight chains. The seal skin is awesome. From one angle the sporran looks dark grey/black and from another angle it looks almost silver. I am very pleased with this sporran. Now to find a dressier event
