Solicitation of Opinion: Sporrans

[Streetcar]

I believe those are called "Hunting Sporrans," and I agree they look sharp for formal or semi-formal wear.

It sounds like your objection to fur may be a moral one (as oppose to allergies, or health reasons). Just for the record, the fur used in many sporrans shipped to the U.S. is actually cow hide.

I also believe there are synthetic fur sporrans available as well....

I agree that a leather sporran can look quite dressy. You do need some metal on it to dress it up. The one shown above would look fine.

[Livingston]

I agree with all above. Also, you will notice that the description for a lot of fur sporrans state bovine fur and those should fit your objections to other fur sporrans.

NOW, a full head Bovine sporran . . . THAT would be INTERESTING!

Highland Cattle Anyone?

And can I just say... urf!

Thanks for the advice, everyone. I'll take the "bovine fur" matter under consideration, as you're right -- it would be silly to object to bovine fur while wearing leather, but... sometimes I'm silly.

I'm of a similar mindset, I don't think you should kill anything you're not willing to eat (or at least feed to the dog!). And besides, I'd look ridiculous in fur!

You're not alone Mr. MacDougall. Fortunately there are options including faux fur.
