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:

depends on the sporran and tassels!
3-5-6

Yeah I would say it depended on the overall look of the sporran. I probably prefer three though.

I have to say at least three, if not 9 or 12! But is has to be a multiple of three.....

A good theological description of the Holy Trinity - three tassles on the one sporran!

I'd agree with P1M, Panache, Anderson and Robin on this; Either 3 or 0.
Two of my sporrans each have 3 tassles and my other one is a plain black leather sporran with no tassles.
