How many sporrans are enough?

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

Oh, I don't know, Turpin - only my top three get regular use these days.

There are a lot of super designs out there that I would like to try, but I decline to use images that are copyrighted for items for sale. I do make up some things on scrap leather just to see how they turn out.

I hope this thread continues. There is a lot of nice work out there.

Don't sell yourself short, Tom. Your tooling work is very masterful and looks like it's getting more intricate and accomplished every time I see a new one. Me, I just cut, glue, punch, and sew. I'm afeard of the tooling stuff.
