I prefer the less shaggy look (like the seal skin or goat sporrans) so i will try and duplicate that with skins from tandy or ebay.

I'll have to agree with you as well. Although they look great with a PC outfit, I'm not too partial to wearing a fur coat on my sporran chain. I much prefer the look of goat or other such beasts...

I bought the same one in white and wore it last night. I actually got a couple of compliments on how well it went with my kilt. I had room for my wallet, keys and a small digital camera without it looking bulky or being uncomfortable. Even though I was ready to tell any naysayer that it was Faux fur, nobody asked me about the fur. It's a little bit fuzzy and I had to do some lint brushing when I was done but it's silky and hangs pretty well. I paid a little bit more for mine but it's still better than over $200 for a classic rabbit sporran.

I e-mailed the company on on eBay. They assured me that when it says "rabbit fur" it is real and when it says "Artificial Rabbit fur" it is artificial. From the eBay pictures there doesn't seem to be any difference. Those who know about these things, how would you tell the difference?

I bought my artificial white rabbit fur sporran on Ebay a long time ago. I have no idea if it's the same vendor.

It looks great.

Cavscout seems apologetic for not getting fleeced by a traditional highland wear shop. He shouldn't be. He got a good-looking sporran at a good price. That's just common sense.
