    A good idea.

    But to deviate slightly-the occasional good polish with ordinary shoe polish keeps a leather sporran in good order and looking smart. Certainly no sporran of mine treated in such a way has suffered from weather/wear.

    In fact shoe polish seems to work better on good leather than all the fancy creams and the like.

    looks great. I really appreciate it when the folks on the board make their own stuff. It's especially cool when you combine something traditional, with new ideas and materials and create something totally unique.

    Very nice TH. Did you get that at an REI or similar store? I like the SWK, but it can be a bit of overkill if you just need to carry a wallet and keys.

    Clever

    Very nice Job. It really does make a difference with the flap and tassels. Now to cruise the photo shops, Marts, etc. for additional possibilities. You have a great idea along the lines of modifying jackets, etc.

    Cheers! Bill
