Ok, now y'all have got me interested in the white fox. I take it fox is considered dressier thean Racoon. I don't really like the ears on the white fox pictured, kinda floppy, like the dog it was comparred to in the last thread. I really like the red fox, but not sure it would go with "Isle of Skye" and "Paisley Ancient". These will be my two top tanks, with tartan hose to match. All of this to come in time. The third "Top dog" will probably be Cavan County. Remember the Grey tweed jacket. If I ever need to go formal, I will follow the thead from Alan on build your own for under $100.00.

So, someone put together this visual and give me an opinion: Grey racoon, red fox, or floppy eared white fox (Looks a lot like a pomarranian) Would love to see pics of their grey fox.

To my untrained eye I think i got a good one----fully tanned hide with all panels felt lined but does not appear to be bonded to anything leather, at least not visibly or by feel, other than the tanned hide itself. Beautiful face mask---I actually think mine was the one they took the picture of for their website and ebay auctions. Looks identical. Can't wait for the opportunity to wear it out in full dress fashion. Only chances I have had so far were on my Edinburgh trip where I gussied up for tow evening semiformal or formal events. But the wife vetoed me packing the think in our luggage becasue of her allergies, and I would also probably have been worried about passing customs with it because I know some similar animal skin/fur products are restricted in either the US or UK without appropriate permits or sometimes altogether-----like sealskin in the US. Better safe than sorry.

Jut commenting on how I go about it. There is obviously more than one way to make a good bag.
