New Brown Sporran

[O'Neille]

I got this in the mail today and only won it a few days ago. It cost $11 buy it now or bid starting a buck less. Only $2 shipping so for $13 I couldn't pass it up. Here's a pic and a link if anyone is shopping tonight. O'Neille

You can see it worn with the new Camo that I'm about to post under General Kilt Talk

That looks pretty good. I've not seen a price that low and it makes me wonder about the quality. Keep us informed on how well it holds up.

The dark brown appears to be oil-tanned and full thickness hide. The thongs are stout and all of the sewing is top notch saddle stitching. The sueded pigskin has very nice bristle markings and is stitched and doublechained near the gussett. I've got saddles that aren't this good. I have a feeling that they are mostly a saddle and tack shop that uses some of their small table cuttings to make up this type of stuff. O'Neille

I checked out this vendor's other items and saw this beautiful-looking rolled luggage. You could probably get two rolled kilts in here. [/IMG]http://www.arenaleather.com/images/Saddles/cav-aus/lgvalise.jpg[IMG]

Darn! the image inserter's not working. here's the link

Interesting idea using a leather concha (with rawhide drawstrings?) as a closure - I must play around with that and investigate the possibilities.

Thanks for the additional info. It sounds very well made. When you see something that's lower priced than everything else it raises a red flag so to speak.

I know, but sometimes you have to kiss a few toads to find a princess. I figured, I wouldn't do the knotwork carving for ten bucks. So I took the chance and was happy I did. O'Neille

That one showed up just after I bought mine. Sometimes they get a following and the price starts to climb. O'Neille
