I can see why you have a dilemma. I never do. I have three sporrans. I have a hard leather one with tassels. This is the basic, starter sporran, relatively cheap, but functional and there is never a worry to mess it up. I have a Buzz Kidder Inverness one that is my favorite. And I ahve a white rabbit hair one for nice evening events where I could possibly get dressed up a bit. That's it. My decision making is very, very easy!
