It looks to me that they tried to style it after a military dress sporran and it just doesn't work. Far too cluttered looking.

Either zero or three for me.

0 or 3 for daywear, 3 or maybe 5 "cross link" for a dress sporran. I'm not fond of the fluffy fur tassels...I prefer the "brush" type.
For semi-dress I prefer a leather sporran without fur...with a cantle and studded tassels.
I like the look of the classic Argyll and Sutherland badger sporran with the 6 tassels...will look great with a full dress doublet outfit :rolleyes:

now wait a minute. Mine's got 2
On a more serious note though, is there any significants to the number or is it just personal preferance on decoration? I never thougt about it before, but now I'd like to know.

It's simply personal prefference.

The number of the tassles shall be three. No more, no less. Three shall be the number of the tassles, and the number of the tassles shall be three.
And I see that the sporran in the link Cavscout posted has 1...2...5!!!
Cheers,
Nick
