How many sporrans are enough?

[Wompet]

1. Brown TCS sporran with two flaps
2. Black TCS sporran with four flaps
3. The TCS FRANKENCHUCK (as shown here and Turpin's website!)
4. L&M semi-dress, black with clan crest
5. Stillwater nylon cargo sporran
6. Self-made, Rob Roy style
7. Self-made, "modern" style
8. "Modern" style (actually a belt pouch) purchased at a Ren Faire

Maybe I'll get a Ferguson Britt or L&M dress sporran eventually, just to round out the collection. Oh, and a piper's sporran once I graduate to the pipes.

Never enough, as we speak my next black leather from Wyvern Leatherworks is being made. I can say I do share with all my Sons though.

Ted Crocker knows several females with at least that many purses. Ted Crocker now runs for his life.

You can run but you can't hide!

[Carolina Kiltman]

Currently three:

one is black leather, with a Celtic medallion in pewter I wear it most often.

one semi-dress brown cowskin (with fur on)

one dress all wild rabbit fur, (think bunny Frou-Frou with a silver cantle)

Jonesing, a brown Rob-Roy to go with a new kilt in my hunting tartan. I'll probably make it and a matching belt, with the current stock market and my retirement being at least partially tied to it, the kilt may be a long time coming.

ChattanCat's wife says that if you are fortunate enough to have a wonderful sporran from the absolutely fabulous Turpin, you really don't need more than a black and a brown with some of the matching tartan flaps! Oh, and the adorable little coin holders are a must!
Of course, you HAVE to coordinate all of this with matching belts and sporran straps from the incomparable Cavscout. ChattanCat's wife is the fashion fascist, and she should know.

Thanks Mrs C.

I agree about the coin holders. One for each sporran (unless you're Southern Breeze or Wompet!!)

My personal Sporrans

Full Mask Badger
Black Buffalo Rob Roy style
Mahogany Buffalo (same)
Formal Dress in bovine hair made in Scotland
Whatever I feel like making next

[AL-58]

1 black cordura zipped casual sporran
1 Soft black leather Sporran
1 Black leather day sporran with a celtic dragon carved in the flap
1 semi dress, Black Leather with Kangaroo fur face panel, black leather tassels
1 White/grey rabbit fur dress sporran
1 Black Rabbit fur dress sporran

All but the Black rabbit were made by me, with some input from my wife (leather carving and lacing)

The soft leather pouch and white/grey rabbit are my favourites.
I don't think you can have too many sporrans.

I don't recall a thread like this one. A neat idea.

I currently have three sporrans:

1. Brown Freelander


2. Ferguson Brit, Glengyle, Badger


3. A_Hay, Pictish Boar

[Tetley]

1. www.leathersporran.co.uk Plain Black Sporran
2. www.leathersporrans.co.uk brown with stitched lines
3. Stillwater Kilts Nylon Cargo Sporran
4. Not sure what #4 is going to be yet. There are too many choices for quick decisions.

-A_Hay! brown harp
-Angus Harvey brown day sporran
-Frugal corner white fur formal
-Stillwater black day sporran
-Horsehair piper's sporran
-Rabbit-hair semi-formal with Gordon crest

I have one for every occasion. I certainly don't need anymore, but that doesn't stop me from looking!

1. Black SWK Economy for Class B Pipe Band Uniform
2. Economy Horse Hair for Class A on Rainy Day
3. Vintage Horse Hair for Class A
4. DIY Suede and Faux fur when I needed a sporran and I was 16

...Reminds me, I "need" a dress sporran, but every time I'm invited to anything formal, I'm invited as the piper.
